Standing event.

Dr Truth are five experienced musicians, immersed in the language of the blues. The band play original songs with an American style and Salford sensibility. A fast rising band on the UK circuit, the band brings together talented and experienced musicians to perform original and sophisticated blues at a world class level.

Preston Reed is a New York visionary credited with reinventing the acoustic guitar. He fuses chord-based grooves, soaring melodic runs and polyrhythmic percussion with his breathtaking two-handed style.

Unlike many instrumentalists, the power and depth of Reed's original songwriting is as unique as the man's execution, as blues, rock, funk and jazz meet, embrace, interlock and attack to create a sonic brew quite unlike anything you've heard before.

Chumbawamba take to the stage once more to celebrate the release of their new album ABCDEFG. Armed with acoustic guitars, accordion and trumpet, five-part harmonies, a bucketful of attitude, the new songs cover such diverse topics as the wearing of iPods in public places, censorship of music under repressive regimes, the power of the voice and Simon Cowell's come-uppance.

They are joined on the tour by fellow No Masters artists O'Hooley (Unthanks) and Tidow; dapper-suited gentlewomen with a wryly observant, melancholic and sometimes uncomfortable take on life. The pair create their very own brand of contemporary folk song, with stark and beautiful piano playing. They will be playing songs from their new album, Silent June.
