THE Vale Blues, Jazz and Roots play host to one of the best international Blues acts Tom Ball and Kenny Sultan at the Sea View Labour Club on May 31, Bank Holiday Monday.

Tom and Kenny have been bringing their unique blend of guitar and harmonica blues, rags and good time music to widely diverse audiences for more than 25 years. Their live performances include concerts, clubs and festivals all over the world, and they were the only musical act in America to play all four venues of the 1984 Olympic Games. Together and separately they have worked on countless film scores, TV soundtracks, commercials and sessions. They’ve appeared on television internationally, were featured on the Levis 501 Blues commercials, have played for audiences of 300 million via Voice of America and are frequent guests of National Public Radio. Their eight duo albums have garnered much critical acclaim throughout the world, and their music from the film Over the Edge won the duo the prestigious Telly Award in 1994.

The emphasis of their music is on Good Time Blues. Great songs and virtuoso playing, both are masters in their field, they are familiar to harmonica players and guitarists worldwide through their many instruction books as well as their music.

Doors open at 8pm with the main act at 9pm, tickets £10. For tickets or information email valebjr@hotmail.co.uk or phone 02920 514666, website valebjr.biz.ly
