Some big names and some new faces.
A new arrival at the Robin takes the stage on Thursday. The Royal Southern Brotherhood are best described as a Southern rock supergroup, fronted by Devon (son of Gregg) Allman and featuring former members of many of the region’s finest bands including the Meters and the Neville Brothers. Their self-title debut album came out last year to immediate acclaim.
Tickets £17.50
Returning on Friday are regulars at the venue, the Christians. One of the soul-influenced British bands of the eighties, their first five singles made the Top 40 and their debut album The Christians went on to sell over a million copies with follow-up Colour topping the charts. Since then they’ve toured regularly and last year celebrated their 25th anniversary by re-releasing their first two albums.
