ONE of the UKs top blues bands, The Producers, will play Westonzoyland on their 25th anniversary tour.

During that time, the band has won awards such as the Best British Blues Band, and Best British Blues Album.

The Producers core band founders, guitarist Harry Skinner and bassist Dave Saunders ahve been joined by a number of talented musicians over the years.

They have released ten albums and had many guests appearing with them including Jethro Tulls Martin Barre, Dave Kelly, The Groundhogs Tony McPhee, Andy Fairweather Low and the brass section of the Ray Charles Orchestra including the Raelets.

They have travelled to Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the Bahamas and all over the UK and most of Europe, played at or headlined most of the major blues festivals in the UK, Ireland and Europe plus the Tauranga Jazz and Blues Festival in New Zealand, Freeport Blues Festival, the Bahamas and the Atlanta Blues Festival USA earning a formidable live reputation.

The Producers are still out there playing the freshest live blues in Britain today. Concerned with feel and attitude rather than slavishly copying 'hand me down' American music, The Producers move effortlessly between their own well crafted material and seriously reinvigorated classics stamped with their own characteristic identity, still barnstorming across the country playing sell-out club, theatre and festival dates having developed an impressive live reputation over 25 years that no one can ignore.

Westonzoyland village hall. Saturday, May 21 at 8pm.

Advanced tickets £10 from Bissetts Butchers in the village, Black Cat Records, Taunton or online www.mojopromo.co.uk
