A VETERAN of Hereford's 1970s music scene plays his first gig in the city since the mid-80s next week.

Mark T will bring his award-winning combination of folk, roots and blues to the Black Lion, a particularly significant venue as it's where he started his professional career.

His latest CD Where are you Going? is a celebration of 1970s Hereford and follows eight previous releases.

Rootdogs, featuring Mark T with special guest Jamie Davidson, the original organiser of the Black Lion Folk Club, play the Black Lion, Bridge Street, at 8pm on Wednesday, May 30.

Tickets are available through www.circleofsound.co.uk/markt and on the door.
