Lincoln Drill Hall Saturday 5 November 8pm

New Jazz 5 Presents the Karen Sharp Quartet

With Karen Sharp on tenor saxophone, Nikki Iles on piano, Dave Green on double bass & Steve Brown on drums. Since graduating from Humphrey Littleton’s band, Karen has developed into a major artist who is very much in demand judging by her busy touring schedule. She brings her new Quartet to the Drill Hall as part of an extensive UK tour, when she fronts what must be the to-die-for rhythm section of British jazz. Karen has a warm, singing tone, a melodic flair and a great sense of swing.

Midwezt – Check out their new album “Closer”

The vocal prowess of lead singer songwriter Charleen Armitage are backed by guitarist/songwriter Mick Davison (who has opened for acts such as the Moody Blues, the Who, the Rolling Stones and Van Morrison in his impressive career) and bassist Rex Gates who as a member of the Checkmates had shared the bill with the Beatles, the Rolling Stones Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. With such experienced, professional line up, the band has always been destined to offer something of exquisite quality and with the country/Americana tinged Closer, they certainly do.

Wed 2nd	Al Hughes (Bluesy Based/Soul/Ragtime) Solo singer, songwriter another tour from Scotland. Playing a wide variety of guitars, including a huge sounding, custom built, 12 string resonator. Al's music conjures up a variety of moods, from forceful and raucous to gentle and wistful. Comparisons have been made by more than one reviewer between Al and the late Rory Gallagher's acoustic playing and also to both Chris Smither and Townes Van Zandt. 9pm start.
Sat 5th	Jester (Classic Rock/Classic Metal) Old Nicks welcome back these Nottingham guys who are now a 4 piece playing a wide range of songs from the 70s to date.  Influences include Iron Maiden, Rainbow, Metallica, Motorhead, Black Sabbath and many more.  9pm start.

Sat 19th	Obzidian (Metal/Progressive/Rock) Old Nicks welcome back this very talented band from Stafford. Although ultimately aiming to promote their original material, they are versatile enough to play a full set of originals and classic rock/metal covers, introducing audiences gradually to their progressive, groove based metal original songs of powerful vocals, screamingly fast guitar solos and driving, thunderous bass/drum rhythm section.  9pm start
Sat 26th	Jailler (“TRUE” Classic Rock Covers) A classic rock covers band from The Midlands formed in 2010, and made up of ex pro's/semi pro's. They love to play classic rock and cover many different bands and their songs, not always the ‘usual’ ones.  They pride themselves on playing "TRUE" Classic Rock covers, not POP Rock!!  9pm start
