Cash tribute is sure to be on the money

Four-piece rhythm and blues band Juke boasts some of the finest musicians in the business and plays covers of legends like John Lee Hooker, T Rex and the Four Tops.

The band will play at The Green Dragon in Upper Gravenhurst.

On Friday (January 20) at the venue pub rock will be on the agenda courtesy of Timeless.

Timeless play a heady blend of classic rock, ska and dancefloor tracks, so variety is a certainty.

Some of the finest ska sounds will also be on offer at The Cornerstone in Shefford on Saturday when The Iconics take to the stage.

Punters can expect to hear two-tone and ska favourites as well as some post-punk new wave.

Over at The Bridge in Shefford 3 Days of Freedom will play rock covers, also on Saturday.

The band have been described as one of Bedfordshire’s freshest and most unique sounding acts.

Potton and District Club will be hosting The Soul Man on Saturday, while in Langford rock cover regulars Maxwell Hammer and Smith will be on the bill at The Wrestlers on the same night.

In Cople favourites from the 1960s through to the present day will be heard at The Five Bells on Saturday when 7twenty7 take to the stage.

Formerly known as Carousel, 7twenty7 are a four-piece band with many years of experience and an extensive musical repertoire to match.

Classic rock covers and much more will also be guaranteed at The Red Lion in Biggleswade on Thursday, January 26 when The Stonebreakers return to the venue.

A tribute to a music legend is set to entertain audiences in Bedford next month, meanwhile.

The voice of Johnny Cash will be authentically revived as Roger Dean honours his boy-hood hero in The Johnny Cash Story on Saturday, February 4 at The Corn Exchange.

Backed by band, The Lazy Boys, Roger will take on classic Cash tracks, such as Ring of Fire, I Walk the Line, and Hurt.

Between songs he calls upon the knowledge he gained as a lifelong fan, telling the story of the country legend’s rise from poverty in rural Arkansas, to a world renowned country singer.

No stranger to the entertainment business, Dean made his television debut at the age of 14, singing Cash’s The Tennessee Flat Top Box on the BBC.

He performed the music of the country legend on several radio shows, before entertaining a generation of children as Postman Pat, enjoying chart success as part of duo Earl & Dean, and compering the nationwide talent show Search for a Star.

Following a lifetime of performances, in 2004 Roger decided it was time to pay his hero homage with The Johnny Cash Story.

In an interview with the BBC he stated that he “couldn’t see the point in pretending to be someone else... there was only one Johnny Cash!”

Tickets for The Johnny Cash Story are priced at £15 or £13 concessions and are available from the box office on 01234 269519.
