Paul Lamb and The King Snakes play the Limelight Theatre for the third time, back by public demand, on Friday April 18.

The latest line up of The King Snakes is a refreshing mixture of (relative) youth and experience.

The experience starting at the top, for Paul Lamb has spent the last thirty-some years in clubs and on festival stages, creating a personal synthesis of his harmonica heroes and his own unique and innate talent.

His history includes representing Britain in the World Harmonica Championships, working with his particular mentor, Sonny Terry, and with any number of other blues artists who've visited these shores.

Paul's first band was formed in 1979 and after five years hard work his dedication to his craft began to pay off when he was voted Instrumentalist Of The Year by the British Blues Connection.

The King Snakes line-up includes vocalist and rhythm guitarist Chad Strentz, bass player and vocalist Rod Demick and drummer Sonny Below. The latest addition to the band is Paul's son Ryan who plays a mean guitar.

Tickets are available in advance and on the door on the night, £10 and £9 for concessions. Call 01296 634991 for information and advance tickets or buy online at www.rockingtheblues.com
