Free on Sunday

If you fancy some live music to end the weekend here are some ideas for who to see …

If you love blues, country or r&b (the proper stuff, not the modern dance nonsense) you should get to some of these gigs.

On Saturday 11th November local legends and the rockingest r’n’b band on earth, King Pleasure & the Biscuit Boys are performing at the Hideaway, Wishaw, Sutton Coldfield

6th November  – An all-star special guest extravaganza for co-promoter and manic bass player Al Gare’s birthday.

13th November – Paul Robinson, who’s never played the A&B before, they won’t tell us what he’s like so you’ll have to turn up to find out.

20th November – Highly-regarded bluegrass & western swing band the Toy Hearts.

27th November – Ann Dugan & band, who play, apparently, ‘Blue-collar country blues and road-house rock’.
