, SOLD OUT,
Cost: £20, £18 concessions
With the MGs, Booker T Jones scored numerous hits including 1962’s Green Onions and introduced millions to the funky possibilities of the Hammond organ, as well as performing on countless soul classics as the Stax house band, including hits by Otis Redding and Sam and Dave.
Now, with Potato Hole, his first solo album in over 20 years, Booker T finally brings together his love of muscular rock and soulful grooves and feels he is in the musical form of his life:
"extraordinary, delirious…A joy all the more thrilling for being so unlikely, so unexpected, and so long in coming.” Uncut, May

Over the past 35 years, this East LA quintet has assembled a body of work diverse enough to cripple most bands and to captivate fans worldwide. Few bands are as eclectically unpredictable as Los Lobos – the band has notched a US number one single with La Bamba, won 3 Grammys and sold millions of records while veering from blues, hard rock, soul, Latin, rockabilly, jazz, psychedelia and Mexican traditional music as the fancy takes them.
“A trip round their neighborhood becomes an epic voyage through exotic Americana, sly funk and raw blues.” Daily Express
“Los Lobos are one of the best live bands on the planet” The Independent
