ONE of the UK's top blue-rock bands will be gracing the stage at Worcester's Huntingdon Hall next week.

Now in their 18th year together, The Hamsters have been voted one of the UK's best unsigned bands by Kerrang! magazine.

They have a wealth of experience between them. They're now in their 18th year together and will soon perform their 3,500th concert to some of their 2,000 fans - and that's just the ones on their mailing list!

Individual members have performed with musicians such as Eric Clapton, Alison Moyet, Doctor Feelgood, Walter Trout and the late British blues performer Alexis Korner.

Concert-goers can expect the band to showcase material from their new studio album Open All Hours and concert video To Infirmity, And Beyond.

The concert takes place at 8pm on Thursday, February 10, and tickets are £12.50, available from the box office on 01905 611427.
