FREE ADMISSION
John
Power Band
+ support from
Edward James Mugford
Fri 9th May 8.30pm £10 (£8 concs) standing
Seat free zone for your dancing pleasure
This is a very exciting find! Skiffle, mountain folk and dustbowl blues mingle with a 60’s vibe and classic pop to create something fantastically fresh, reminiscent of Beefheart and The Zutons. After stardom with The Las and Cast, it would have been easy to rest on his laurels, but in this new outfit John has gone way beyond that and achieved something truly inspired.
