BRISTOL band Santa Dog will unfurl their heartfelt delicately-fried guitar pop in Worcester this month with a debut gig.

The group got together last year, fuelled by a lack of summe, cocktails and a desire to hear something new, with their resulting output already sparking favourable reviews.

Fronted by the folk-tinged vocals of Rowena Dugdale, the band's line-up is completed by Rob Williams on lead guitar, Jojo Harper on bass and Jason Ewing on drums.

Since their formation they have released a limited edition debut LP on their own label and have also been attracting fans through a free exclusive download of their song Delicate on their website: www.santa-dog.co.uk

They will be showcasing their work at Worcester's Marr's Bar on Friday, April 29, alongside local favourites Ember - who hail from the Malvern area and do a fine line in melodic rock.

Ember are made up of Dave Reed, Jason Firth, James Elliott-Williams and Carol Lee Sampson.
