Fabian has recently returned to fulltime work with several bands in the UK after extensive international touring with Mark. From Rock and Roll to Ragtime, Fabian's superb funky blues playing and huge enthusiasm add life and drive to the HOT LIPS & CHILLI FINGERS line up.

Writer, producer and innovative drummer Mark Russell adds a North American ‘frame' drum to the available options. With drumming described by Charles Shaar Murray as ‘sensational', he has headlined festivals in Canada for audiences of 8,000 and recorded numerous albums, including the last album recorded by the late great Ewan MacColl.

They will take you on a seamless roller coaster ride through traditional music, presenting an eclectic mix of original and cover songs (Blues, roots and Jazz) from the last 80 years. Expect some spice!

Alice's lavishly soulful voice is both timeless and up to the minute modern. Live or on record, she always performs with her trademark self assurance and sass. Her style is a predominantly bluesy, soul lament but encompasses everything from funk to gospel to jazz and beyond. Her performances captivate the audience and command its attention.

"In the past comparisons have been made between Reed and soul heavyweights such as Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, but tonight the 24 year-old Bostonian is his own man, using his Mississippi apprenticeship to inform tracks such as Am I Wasting My Time, Walking And Talking (the title track of his debut album) and It's Easier with a rare fire and passion." MOJO (again)

DEAD RAT ORCHESTRA
This Colchester based collective is all about channeling energies into making some heart bursting beguiling music. Since they started playing together, their line up has shifted but their folk-centric minimalist improvisations are always mind blowing experiences.

LAST OF THE REAL HARDMEN
LOTRHM creates Instrumental Fahey-esque musings that will chill your bones and warm your cockles. Based in Nottingham, Chris Summerlin has been creating noise and beauty in equal measure in a variety of bands for many years now (including Reynolds and Wolves of Greece) and currently makes fine rock music with Lords. We see him tonight playing with new Fuzzy Lights addition Patrick Farmer on drums.

A Crushing Death & Grief Gig, see www.crushingdeath.com for further details.

Well, under normal circumstances, if you wanted to go and see a gig by Cambridge superstar, Broken Family Band frontman and legendary nice guy Steven J Adams, you'd have to pay. After all, he has to live. But this Saturday brings a unique chance to see him perform a headline set for nowt, courtesy of the good people at the Globe Ale House.

There's fine support from country-blues singer-songwriter David Greeves and semi-resident weirdos The Morning People, there's ace DJing from Will, and it really, really won't cost you a penny.

With guest vocals from Marc Almond, Ruby Turner, Eddi Reader, Louise Marshall & others, Jools will perform tracks spanning his 11 albums from the past 11 years as well as songs taken from his latest hit album Best Of Friends, a collection of Jools' most loved collaborations with guests including the late George Harrison, Norah Jones, Tom Jones, Bono and Stereophonics, which stormed up the album top 10.

As ever, expect an evening of blues and boogie woogie fun, promising a trademark foot-stomping night out!
