MOTöRHEADACHE

A three-piece tribute to Motörhead, focused on Lemmy Kilmister's work with the band from 1975 to 2015, with a support set from the Bradford and Leeds trio Whiskeyhead at The Old Woollen.

MOTöRHEADACHE is a tribute act, not the original band. It was formed by Rob Campbell, a lifelong Motörhead fan, who plays Rickenbacker bass and sings. Rob takes on Lemmy's persona through voice, stage clothing and a heavy, mid-range bass tone, and performs under the name Lemmy Kidderminster. The repertoire centres on the material associated with Lemmy's time in Motörhead between 1975 and 2015.

The equipment is built to match the original sound. The bass is a custom instrument made by the luthier who worked on Lemmy's own Rickenbastard 4004, and it carries pickups and tuners taken from that guitar during a service. The amplification includes a custom Marshall Super Bass wired to Lemmy's specification, with two Marshall 4x15 cabinets and a 4x12 cabinet on each side of the stage.

Support comes from Whiskeyhead, a power trio formed in the latter part of 2025 by three musicians from the Bradford and Leeds scene. Their music combines the heavy riffs of the 1970s with the rock and roll energy of the 1980s. The Old Woollen is a Leeds venue for concerts and shows, and the night will suit listeners who follow Motörhead and the classic heavy rock of that era.
