Be prepared for a wonderful evening’s entertainment, celebrating musical styles that have become synonymous with the very best in popular music.
You will hear Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Ska and Bluebeat, as well as Afro Cuban rhythms, delivered in the Band’s own inimitable style.
Classics by the likes of Ray Charles, Ken Boothe, Booker T and the MG’s, Toots and the Maytals are mixed with original numbers to create a toe tapping musical experience, guaranteed to have you itching to dance.
Many will remember Ricky Cool fronting one of Birmingham’s most popular groups, the legendary Ricky Cool and the Icebergs. Ricky has toured with Billy Connolly, shared the stage with George Harrison and played shows with Robert Plant, The Kinks and Dire Straits to name but a few.
The Band members are all top class musicians with excellent pedigrees, who have worked with artists including Ruby Turner, The Beat, Gregory Isaacs, Carina Round, Linda Perry and Fine Young Cannibals.
As Ricky says, “Our music is timeless and enjoyed by young and old alike. The fun we have on stage rubs off on our audience and a great time is had by one and all.”

An Audience with Jess Silk
Thursday 25th September 2025 Doors 7pm
Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her melodic brand of folk/punk music often has her being likened to a female Frank Turner or Billy Bragg, and it gets people sitting up and listening. Armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravely voice that many don’t expect, Jess appeared at Glastonbury in 2022 and will be supporting the Levellers ( acoustic ) on their 2023 tour.
