AMERICAN singer-songwriter Vicky McKee will be performing her funky, funny, sensuous and soulful songs at the Paper Moon Caf, Malvern Link.

She is teaming up with local musicians Jem Vipond and Steve Bullock, plus American drummer Jack Pearson.

Cafe spokesman Lynn Hornblower said: "We rely in the goodwill and commitment of local musicians to provide entertainment and music in Malvern and Vicky is our most far-flung contributor so far."

Vicky will be returning to the USA next month but will be back on this side of the Atlantic in September for the Birmingham Arts Fest and the St Ives Festival.

"We have been trying to book Vicky for some time as she's very busy at venues around the UK," said Lynn. "If Saturday night is successful, we hope she'll be back in September."

The gig is tomorrow (Saturday) at 8.30pm.
