THE Rhythm Blasters and the Kings of Lounge have known each other for years but have never played together – until now.

Both bands will take to the stage in Laverstock at the weekend.

Nick Marchant, of the Kings, said: “It should be a great double bill. From rockin’ blues to Latin guitars to soulful vocals, this will be a hot but cool, jiving gig with top players.”

The bands will be performing at Laverstock Sports and Social Club on Saturday night. Doors open at 8pm and tickets cost £2.

For this special night, the club will be serving food (not included in the ticket price) as well as running a bar.
