ROCK band Wille and the Bandits will perform on Friday, October 6, in Settle Victoria Hall.

The band, which tours throughout the UK and Europe playing over 200 gigs a year, are now signed to the Jigsaw label and will be performing songs from their forthcoming new album 'Steal'.

Wille and the Bandits are renowned for their diverse songwriting and the band takes some of its influences from 1970's greats such as Led Zeppelin, Santana and Pink Floyd.

The band features Wille Edwards (lead vocals, electric and acoustic guitars), Matt Brooks (six string electric bass, five string double bass, string arrangements and backing vocals) and Andy Naumann (drums and percussion).

Andy has just won British Blues Award for best drummer and Matt was third in the bassist category.

They are joined by Don Airey from Deep Purple (keyboards) for three tracks on their new album.

Doors open at 7.15pm and the concert begins at 8pm.

Tickets cost £12.50 and are available by ringing 01729 825718 or visiting settlevictoriahall.org.uk
