THE sound of blues singer Connie Lush can be heard at Worcester's Marr's Bar this week.

Connie is now widely recognised as one of the UK's finest blues singers .

She was voted Best UK Female Vocalist by the readers of Blues In Britain on five occasions, earning her a place in the magazine's Gallery of the Greats.

She is also becoming increasingly recognised on the Continent, particularly in France, where she was honoured in the French Blues Trophies awards as European Singer of the Year for 2002.

She will take the stage this Friday with her band Blues Shouter, which she has been with since 1993.

Doors open at 8pm and tickets are £8 in advance or £10 on the door.
