Hit blues band back in town

NINE Below Zero return to the Crooked Billet later this month.

Fronted by Dennis Greaves and Mark Feltham, the South London rhythm and blues band were the first to appear on BBC sitcom The Young Ones in its pilot episode with their song 11 + 11.

Mark played the harmonica in The Old Grey Whistle Test theme tune and is world famous for his blues harp skills.

They were persuaded to play an anniversary gig in London in 1990, which sold out, and was followed by a sellout UK tour.

They have played Glastonbury Festival and return to the gastropub in Newlands Lane, Stoke Row, on Wednesday, October 22.

There is a full regular menu and tickets cost £38 as part of a music cover charge.
