Eel Pie Club at The Patch, 67 London Road, Twickenham
Thursday, March 9 - The Milk Men
Bringing together members of the legendary Pirates, and British Blues Award-nominated the Mustangs, The Milk Men have been tearing up venues and festivals all over the UK with their dynamic, white hot versions of classic blues tunes, alongside unforgettable foot-stomping originals.
With former Pirate Mike Roberts on drums, Lloyd Green (son of r'n'b legend Mick Green) on bass guitar, husky blues singer Jamie Smy on vocals, the band is rounded off on guitar by Adam Norsworthy, singer and guitarist in the Mustangs.
The Milk Men's sound has been called 'ZZ/DC Feelgood" by some critics, who have lavished praise on the band's dynamic live show and original songs. But the band draws its influences from all corners of the blues world, from early Rod Stewart , through classic Rolling Stones & Steely Dan, to the heavier blues leanings of ZZ Top and AC/DC.

Wednesday, March 15 – Tickbox
Tickbox is a semi-autobiographical one-woman play, combining theatre, storytelling and comedy; sharing the journey of a Pakistani family arriving in Govan, Glasgow. Lubna's story is one we can all relate to - one of finding an identity and a place in society, of honouring one's parents and finding one's own way, and of learning to live with all sorts of different people.
With humour - and a good dose of heart-tugging sadness - based around her Asian heritage, Lubna attempts to both break down and play on the stereotypes attached to her background, and ask: what boxes do we all have to tick to get on?
