Sons of Kal-El

The rock band Sons of Kal-El provide professional live performances of refreshing classic hard rock music in the UK. Through performing shows consisting of original songs from their debut album
Sons of Kal-El are influenced from artists like ACDC, Pearl Jam, Nickleback, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Thin Lizzy, Soundgarden, CCR and The Beatles to name a few. Their 21st century rock reflects on different aspects of living and creatively replicates, through lyric and music, the interconnections between the expression of music and human feelings. To embrace the strong connection the band creates and to become a 'brother or sister' of Kal-El would be to accentuate the positives of feeling alive!

Saturday 13 October 8 pm National Youth Jazz Orchestra
NYJO is a glittering showcase for the country’s best young musicians and known for its unique swinging big band sound which can be enjoyed by non-jazz audiences and jazz-lovers alike. They have been voted the best Big Band in the British Band Awards on no fewer than four occasions and as John Dankworth reminded us, ’Forget the word youth, this is one of the best bands you will ever hear’. They played to a sell-out audience at the launch of the redeveloped Drill Hall back in March 2004, so don’t miss this opportunity to see and hear this remarkable band here again! Tickets: £16 (£14 concessions / £8 students)

Friday 23 November 8pm Tina May with The Frank Harrison Trio
Tina May remains the most expressive and technically gifted of the current wave of female jazz singers. Tina’s introduction to jazz started during her university days in Cardiff and Paris when she also developed her theatrical bent for comedy reviews, performing with Rory Bremner. Tina however, concentrated on her musical aspirations and singing jazz for a living. She is a delightful entertainer who quickly develops a close rapport with her audience.
Frank Harrison is best known to most jazz audiences as a member of Gilad Atzmon’s ‘Orient House’ band, but here he shows his versatility by providing Tina with perfect support plus some wonderful piano soloing. Tickets £14 (£12 concessions / £7 students)
