Sunday 1st Nette Robinson's Little Big Band 8:00 £7 

The Little Big Band Plays  is a homage to and celebration of big band legends Count Basie and Duke EllingtonBut there’s a twist.  Despite the album being a salute to two pianists, Nette Robinson’s outfit includes no piano.  In fact there are no chordal instruments to be found in the Little Big Band.  The result: a great sense of space and musical freedom.

Friday 13th  Quaintways  8pm

Taking their name from an old nightclub in Chester, QUAINTWAYS were formed with Northern Soul ringing in their ears.

Their musical style has drawn comparisons to the Stone Roses, The La's, The Cure and the Kinks. Their songs are future classics, and importantly get people dancing at live shows. All good music can be labelled as Soul music because it comes from the Soul, which is exactly where QUAINTWAYS come from.

Friday 27th The Grand Majestic 8pm 

The Grand Majestic are a top funk-inspired pop band hailing from Brighton town. Combining the thrill of feel-good power pop with the swagger of funk, they have entertained packed venues throughout the country and risen quickly to the top of the south-coast music scene.
Fully-equipped to get the party started, the 8-piece group know just how to deliver a catchy pop hook stacked on top of a driving funky groove. TGM melodically stand up to many of todays mainstream pop artists yet give a firm tip of the hat to the old funk maestros we all know and love. In turn finding a modern sound that is unique to themselves.
With a horn section packing more power than an artillery division, The Grand Majestic have more solos than an Italian opera and more pop power than a rocket-propelled disco ball.

Matt has also performed at numerous venues in London, Brighton, Edinburgh and Lincoln and now looks forward to the release of his E.P. 'When I'm Here With You' in May 2010.
Bedroom CityHeart warming music; whether more upbeat or slow and calm, that's a great way to describe Bedroom City's, (the 17 year old Adam Gordon's) music. Drawing influences from mainly the pop rock genre, but combining it with the day-dreamy ambient sound, Bedroom City's music could change anybody's mood.

'Feeling slightly U2 influenced it has great guitar sounds particularly in the impressive opening which sets the standard for both songs.' The EP Project

Guided by LightsA band from Brighton making orchestral-sounding indie music that you can dance to.http://www.myspace.com/guidedbylights

Dubbing their new sound as ‘Neon Rock’ the Blue Hearts music incorporates the brash eclectic tones of rock and roll with the sexual intimacy of a downtown late night speakeasy.  Featuring pop tunes, hard rock rhythms and provocative lyrics mixed with ethereal harmonies, electric violin and a whirlwind of guitar driven crashing surf ambience.  
‘A sparky and stylish slice of UK country-rock,full of urgency and passion’ - MOJO

Saturday 6th Derriere 8pm £7

Derriere delivers a playfully raunchy mix of old school rock and roll, vintage soul, rockabilly and jumpin’ rhythm n blues. Combining the devastating double bass playing of Blood Sugar Hill, wailing blues guitar of T Bone LeRhone with magic fingers Matt Gest pounding the keys. The formidable horn section features the thundering trombone of Gram Canyon, and reed bending saxophonist Rosie Cheeks ... All underpinned by the booty shaking rhythms of Redhand Mallon, at one time one of the most feared sticksmen in Portslade!! At the forefront of this collection of raw, soulful, hipsters are the brassiere busting vocals of fireball front-woman Gloria Stittes, whose voice will strip you naked, box you soundly about the ears, then throw you back out on the street where you belong. Ready your hips and open your heart – Derriere will take you from behind!
It should also be mentioned that members of this accomplished rabble have made several appearances on Mark Lamarr’s Radio 2 show, performed at major UK and European festivals, and released records that have been played on Radio 1 and BBC 1...
