Kitty Bevan Quintet

Well, Sunday was really something special! The Jivo-holics literally took the roof off the Pub. They were awesome and it was probably one of the best gigs we have had at the Pub. I have never seen so many crazy shirts.

 

Guide to this week's free concerts and live music gigs at The Queens (5th - 11 May)

On Wednesday, the truly remarkable Lee Jones. This 22 year old guitar master just seems to get better and better.His last gig was truly amazing and the big question is just how much better can this guy get? If you aint seen him yet you dont know what you missing!

 

This Sunday we are very privileged to be hosting a very special talent. Paul Bradley has been described as "a unique musical talent" and " a musical genius". Anyone who had the opportunity of listening to him perform with Colin Tully at their recent concert in the Savoy Theatre will know what we are talking about.

Paul is a multi-instrumentalist singing and playing his mix of celtic, folk and rock influenced tunes. He has a unique singing voice this is a performance which no-one should miss. Paul is a rare talent and we are lucky to have him perform at the Queens.
