The gig at the Bedford Globe theatre on 13th April is to raise awareness for Love Music Hate Racism! We're really excited about the line up and hope you can make it out! It will be an amazing show!! The line up is:

Aziz Ibrahim http://www.myspace.com/azizband

The Aziz show is an acoustic evolution of the Aziz album ' Lahore To Longsight' and EP 'Middle Road' on Indus Records. Its quite simply a new form of music that Aziz calls 'Asian Blues'. Get ready for Asian/blues guitars, voices and rhythms merged into songs and instrumentals written by Aziz with maybe a few co-writes with his Ex-band mate Ian Brown from 'The Stone Roses'. Accompanied by one of UK's finest Indian classical artists from Leeds it's a complete psychedelic guitar/tabla fest' that sounds like five guys not two ! Dalbir Singh Rattan.

Park Bench Poet http://www.myspace.com/parkbenchpoet

"Park Bench Poet are a new and exciting act who are proving more than capable of infusing witty anecdotes and social commentary with a melodic and sometimes reggae twist. Songs such as 'New Direction' and 'After Midnight' are only snippets of what this act are capable of! Park Bench Poet are sure to impress and given recent airplay on BBC Radio 1, it won't be long before the big time is calling! Coming half Gomez, half Mike Skinner, this is the soundtrack to your summer and the story of your life." Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly.

Folk-pop artist Ellie Lawson is touring 10 Quiksilver stores in the summer of 2010 in the UK as part of her sponsorship deal with Quiksilver Women. The singer who was previously signed with Atlantic records in the USA was championed by chat show host Ellen De Generes and has tracks produced by William Orbit. The independent singer-songwriter has her own label called 'Create your Own reality' and previously sold 25,000 records with the USA book retailer Barnes and Noble. Lawson's performances include opening for the BBC presenter Jimmy Doherty's festival 'Harvest at Jimmys Farm' last September in Suffolk where KT Tunstall and Jose Gonzalez headlined. She has also previously played at the Abbey Road studios and on the Ellen DeGeneres show where Ellen predicted live on air that Ellie would become 'the hugest, hugest star.'
