Bob Log III is, among other things, loud, strange and electrifying.

A one man band born out of the burning remains of an Alabama brothel, with the hunger of a rabies infested mutt and an overwhelming desire to not give a fuck.

The result is a live show that can only be described as a man in a jumpsuit and full-face helmet rigged up with a telephone receiver barrelling around in a lifeboat while beating away on a hollow-body guitar with all the joy in his dirty, scuzzy heart. It’s a truly wild affair.

Andy Twyman comes through on support blending soulful blues with raucous boogie, comedy, cabaret and rock and roll to create an exciting and entertaining one man band show packed with heart and humour.

Iconic German rock group, FaUSt, take us back to the classic Krautrock era on a journey through an extensive discography from an esteemed career.

Having previously signed with Polydor and Virgin Records in the early 70s, they later recorded the album Punkt in 1974 and went underground for the next 16 years. By then, FaUSt had become what Julian Cope described as “the most mythical band ever” and the most radical of all Krautrock bands.

Since 1990, FaUSt have toured extensively in Europe, the USA and the rest of the world. They’ve created their own label and produced numerous albums in London, Austin, Hamburg and Schiphorst.

A band that perfectly embodies the rebellious spirit of the Krautrock movement in West Germany, witness musical history this April.

During his four-decade career, guitar virtuoso Stanley Jordan has consistently displayed a musical persona of openness, imagination and versatility. Whether boldly reinventing classic masterpieces, playing soulful interpretations of pop-rock hits, or blazing through straight-ahead jazz forays and ultramodern improvisations, Jordan takes listeners into unexpected musical territory.

Key to Jordan’s fast-track acclaim was his mastery of a special technique on the guitar’s fretboard. Instead of conventional strumming and picking, Jordan's innovative "touch technique" is an advanced form of two-handed tapping. While a handful of other players were using similar techniques, Stanley’s fluid, multi-layered textures and sheer virtuosity raised the bar for excellence.

But his technique, though impressive, is always a means to a musical end. His music is imbued with a warmth and sensitivity that has captured the imagination of listeners worldwide. A classically trained pianist before playing guitar, Jordan wanted greater freedom in voicing chords on his guitar, so he applied piano principles to do so. Jordan's touch technique allows the guitarist to play melody and chords simultaneously with an unprecedented level of independence. It also allows Jordan to play simultaneously on two different guitars, or even on guitar and piano. “I think of it as a single instrument, but one with a wide range of tonal colours—that’s why I do it”, he explains.

The History Of Drake

Still playing and touring the World, Lil' Jimmy Reed is the last chance to hear the raw, unadulterated sound of authentic Louisiana blues live.

Since being gifted his first guitar made with a cigar box at the age of 6, the blues has kept Leon Atkins, A.K.A Lil' Jimmy Reed, going his whole lifetime. His miraculous break came when attending a Jimmy Reed concert: the Mississippi bluesman, who had a fondness for drinking, had become too intoxicated to play and was quietly removed through the backdoor. With his extensive childhood knowledge of Jimmy Reed's music, Leon was asked to take his place. The way in which he played and sang meant the crowd couldn't tell the difference, and the show was an absolute success. Thus, the name Lil' Jimmy Reed was born!

There's no doubting that, even at 80 years old, his incredible show-stopping ability remains- his stinging guitar work, gritty vocals and haunting harmonica are all testament to this. With music embodying a raw Louisiana blues tradition that has its roots in the poverty-stricken Deep South, he's kept the traditional alive and remains the last of a generation of classic blues musicians that influenced the likes of The Rolling Stones and more.

Please note this is a seated show. Get down early to grab the best spots.
