Fireworks Night Goes Pop bands...

The Original Rabbit Foot Spasm Band formed to play new material inspired by the energy of pre-war Rhythm and Blues and Jazz.
In three years they've performed over 500 concerts to become one of the most entertaining and notorious bands on the circuit. Highlights have included Glastonbury, closing set at Bestival 11 and a triumphant headline set at Cowley Road Carnival, as well as sessions on Mark Lamarr's BBC Radio 2 show God's Jukebox.
Debut album 'Year of the Rabbit' released last January documents a year in the life of a touring jazz band, travelling the byways of Britain from Northern Working Men's Clubs via the nightlife of London's Limehouse between the wars. After a tremendous 11 months since the sold out Coo album launch show, the cats are looking forward to performances at The Royal Albert Hall and The Royal Festival Hall! We're delighted to announce these hot potatoes will be setting the night off with a bang!

Matt Winkworth & the Winkworthers Originals
Matt Winkworth is a piano-based, cabaret-inspired singer-songwriter, joined by a seven-piece instrumental ensemble; the Winkworthers Originals. His quirky, theatrical songs tell tall stories and forgotten tales, from the plight of the worker bee to a fight with a Jabberwock, perhaps tasting the elixir of youth on the way.
