Then Sunday evening promises to be a very special night. Ben E. King is one of the greatest soul singers of all time. His work with the Drifters is enough to secure him entry to every hall of fame that might exist, but this was topped off with an equally-impressive solo career. Support is from another soul great, Jimmy James & the Vagabonds, with DJs including former BRMB man Mike Hollis.

Tickets £22.50
