STEEL guitar, double bass, piano... it must be blues night at The Horn.

Get down to St Albans' premier live venue tomorrow night (Thursday), close your eyes, open your ears, and for all the world you could be in the Mississippi delta, wrestling a crocodile or something.

The Spikedrivers will be providing the musical accompaniment to this mind trip. Their delta boogie is sure to set heads-a-nodding and feet-a-tapping.

Tonight (Wednesday) the punky pop of Blunderbuss is the main attraction.

The Blunders have already courted acclaim of none other than XFM's top cockney geezer Gary Crowley and look set to go down a storm in this fair city. Support comes from Chaser.

Soulfish ooze into town on Friday with their soul and R'n'B review, while Wicca take the stage on Saturday.

The Blue Angel Acoustic Cafe brings the weekend to a close on Sunday, Monday night is cocktail night and Tuesday sees Spooky Root and Panic Station contest a semi-final place in the Battle of the Bands competition.
