SOUL COMMOTION

Wiltshire-based band Soul Commotion, who were popular in the local pub, club and festival scene but split up several years ago, return this weekend to play Mount Pleasant Social Club in Bradford on Avon on Saturday.

They were a spectacular eight-piece band featuring two glamorous female singers, a blazing rhythm section and funky horn ensemble.

It remains to be seen whether the reformed band will live up to its past performance, but if it does it will thrill the audience with its classic soul and R&B covers and tight choreography.

THE SCOVILLE UNITS

Bath Folk Club at Widcombe Social Club welcomes a dynamic new band on Friday, July 10.

The Scoville Units features former members of two now legendary bands, Flook and Daily Planet.

The result is a distinguished mix of bluegrass, Celtic roots, country blues and jazz that is as red hot as any chilli pepper.

The band features Leon Hunt on banjo, Ed Boyd on guitar, Gina Griffin on fiddle and voice, Rex Preston on mandolin and Josh Clark on bodhran and cajon percussion.

It promises to be a great evening not to be missed.

LUNALOOP

Techno-crazy lovers of world music and dance will enjoy Lunaloop who are currently touring the UK and are appearing at The Bell on Monday.

This Young Australian techno dance band will be one of the coolest acts to play Walcot this summer.

Their eerie tribal grooves combined with the haunting sound of didgeridoo and violin with drum-beats and tabla create an other-worldly experimental sound that has proved popular at festivals and last time at the Bell.

SINVIOLA

This dynamic band from Argentina plays a glorious fusion of different Latin American rhythms.

Truly the street music of Argentina played with sincerity and understanding but also combining the sophistication and virtuoso skill of classical music with something all together more earthy, elemental and streetwise.

Their first visit to the UK brings them to The Bell in Walcot on Wednesday evening.
