ON Sunday, May 1 Presteigne's Full Circle present The Zen Hussies and DJ André Voiture Rouge at the Assembly Rooms in Presteigne.
The Zen Hussies formed in 2001 in an endeavour to reclaim roots music forms such as trad jazz, blues, ska, rock and roll and swing back from the clutches of nostalgia and invest these influences with a contemporary relevance whilst respecting the traditions from which they arose.
Led by frontman, singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist Jules Landau aka Jonah Flatfoot, the band have made thousands of live appearances at festivals, clubs, pubs and bars all over Europe. Their trademark sound has been described by Festival Eye magazine as "the sonic definition of happiness" and is a whirl of bluesy hollers, swinging trumpet, baritone sax, clarinet, harmonica, double bass, guitars, drums and good humoured stylistic nudges and winks.
"Born showmen with one eye on the absurd guaranteed to create a sea of beaming revellers" – Venue Magazine.
Tickets available from Andy at Courtyard Antiques or call 01544 267163 to reserve.
