SABBOTAGE The best and the most authentic Tribute to Black Sabbath on the UK circuit

• Saturday 6 June 2026
• Yardbirds Rock, Grimsby

Sabbotage Black Sabbath Tribute deliver the most powerful and most authentic Ozzy era Sabbath show. With well over two and a half hours of Ozzy era Sabbath in the bands repertoire, Sabbotage never fail to entertain and are the closest you can get to the God Fathers of Heavy Rock in their heyday.

Sabbotage arrived on the scene in November 2014. Formed from the ashes of established Black Sabbath Tribute Snowblind immediately it was obvious that this band would become the UK’s most authentic and by far the best Black Sabbath tribute.  All of the band are highly accomplished and experienced musicians sharing a great passion for early Black Sabbath in particular, which results in an unforgettable experience for all having the privilege to see them perform live.

For those that missed Black Sabbath in their first incarnation this is definitely the closest you are ever likely to get to the real thing.

Sabbotage have a repertoire of something like 2 hours’ worth of early Black Sabbath classics to draw from but are still adding to this to keep creating the ultimate Sabbath tribute.

The life of legendary Grimsby pub publican, Tommy Taylor

You don’t mess with Tommy Taylor. Everyone knows him – or do they? Three particularly harrowing days while fighting in the trenches of the Somme have turned him into one of Grimsby’s toughest pub landlords. But, with Britain once again on the brink of war and the Mariners playing a vital FA Cup semi-final against Wolves, it promises to be another challenging and poignant time for Tommy.

Performed at The Caxton Theatre, Grimsby

By John and Victoria Taylor

Directed by Cathy Bennett-Ryan

Opens Saturday 6 June through to Saturday 13 June 2026

For their latest play, journalists John (Tommy’s grandson) and Victoria Taylor have trawled family and local history archives to shine a light on the difficult inter-war years – known as The Long Weekend – in a Grimsby surviving the Great Depression with humour, beer, fish… and football.

Tommy’s Long Weekend is a funny, affectionate and nostalgic story, based on the life of the legendary local publican, starting with scenes from his time in the army and ending with Grimsby’s FA cup semi final against Wolves in 1939.

We meet his wife Nell, his son Jack, Mr Grange of Grange Wintringham, pub regulars Norm, Frank & Bob and Fifi, lady of the night, amongst others.

This is another first for the Caxton Theatre, a world premiere, a local play about local people which will be fascinating and fun for cast and audience alike.
