Hitting the floor running is the Brighton based folk/indie trio, The Drookit Dogs. Raw throaty vocals mix well with an aura of jazzy punk; perhaps a cross between The Clash, The Cure and The Pogues. Last year we filmed them at Brighton’s Fringe City.

Matt Oldfield, Tom Edwards and Matt White are on at Fletch @ St. Andrews with the release of their new album, “Call the Guards”. So for a great preview of their new Album, go and see Drookit Dogs at Fletch @ St Andrews.

Des O’Connor And the Devil May Drag You Under

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

Internationally renowned Des O’Connor with his catchy melodies and spirited ukulele playing reminds you of that vibrant “Age of Jazz” – those dark years that spanned the end of the First World War through to the “Roaring Twenties” and petering out at the “Great Depression”…

Now in the very modern, “Information Age” and with a very modern economic depression, Des as Host of And the Devil May Drag You Under will lift your spirits with an eclectic mix of supremely talented artists - Eric Walton, illusionist and magician will confound you with his nimble slight of hand tricks; Mantryx, New York’s leading aerial duo will thrill you with their risqué aerialist displays; and the House Band, Frisky and Manish hailing from the world-renowned Leipzig Conservatoire will bring the unfamiliar to a new light.

For more information about dates and times of the show, do check out Fletch @ St Andrews.
