WILLY AND THE ODDBALLS at The Point Sunderland
Willy and the Oddballs bring pop and rock from across the decades to The Point Sunderland on Saturday 26 September. Event starts 7pm; band live 8:45pm.
Willy and the Oddballs take the Saturday Live Lounge slot at The Point Sunderland on 26 September with a set that refuses to stay in one decade. The four-piece North East band work across pop and rock from the 1960s through to current material, which gives this date a broader feel than a single-era tribute night.

That range is the main reason this one stands out. A band jumping from older pop and rock into 80s, 90s and newer songs has more room to change the pace of the evening, so the set can move between singalong favourites, guitar-led tracks and more recent material without sounding locked into one formula.
Willy and the Oddballs at The Point Sunderland
The event opens at 7pm and Happy Hour runs from 7pm to 8pm before the band starts. Willy and the Oddballs go live at 8:45pm, with free entry. For a Saturday night in the city centre, that gives people plenty of time to arrive and settle in before the live set begins.
Four musicians and a songbook stretching across several generations is the appeal here. The set can move from older guitar music into later pop-rock without excluding listeners who prefer one era over another, which should make the room feel mixed rather than aimed at one narrow crowd.
A broad Saturday-night set
The Point is close to Sunderland Station and Park Lane, so it is straightforward to reach without driving. The event starts at 7pm, Happy Hour runs until 8pm and the band are live from 8:45pm.
