Miranda Sykes: One woman, one bass, one guitar

You can catch Miranda Sykes, the acclaimed singer and bassist with Show of Hands, performing solo as she started out: One woman, one bass, and one guitar, in the area later this month.

Building on the success of her Borrowed Places tour, Miranda brings a completely new project - her new album Behind The Wall - to Upwood Village Hall, near Huntingdon, on March 28

Where Borrowed Places opened a window into the past, explaining where she had been, physically and spiritually, Behind The Wall is a Roller Coaster Ride exploring where we are going; Miranda, you, me, all of us.

What does it mean to be human today, living in our communities and societies and where will our actions lead us?

Expect an evening of powerful and hard-hitting, but also poignant and beautiful, music from an artist with a career spanning 20 years during which she has played with many of the top musicians and singers within the folk world.

Tickets cost £12.50 and are available on 01487 814114, from emailing pndmcleod@ btinternet.com or online at www.upwood.org/index. php/uvh-performing-artsevents.

There is a big night of music raising money for a great cause coming up at The Met Lounge in Peterborough later this month.

Get ready for some poppunk karaoke.

Joining them on stage will be Chamber Of Tears and Radicus.

Doors open at 7.30pm. Tickets are £5 from www. skiddle.com/www.seetickets. com
