If you've seen the Birmingham (UK) band on the road, you'll know what they're all about. If not, you'll figure it out real fast once you hear 'em. Essentially, Vincent Flatts Final Drive is a southern-infused, blues 'n boogie band, with country rock and exciting boogie at its core. But while the music goes through the genre gears, one thing is constant: Steve 'Bertie' Burton's killer voice.

FITZ OF LAUGHTER
MARK THOMAS
Mark Thomas is widely recognised as one of the boldest and the most uncompromising comedians in the last twenty years, who has had no qualms in combining comedy with political activism.
Prior to his most renowned vehicle, The Mark Thomas Comedy Product, Thomas was a frequent guest comic on the BBC Radio 1 show The Mary Whitehouse Experience, where he would do a routine about a specific topic of the week and involve studio audience members in the discussions. He would also occasionally play parts in sketches written by the show's main performers.
He then became the resident stand-up comic on Saturday Zoo, a Channel 4 comedy series first screened in 1993 and appeared on an episode of Have I Got News for You. He co-presented the highly successful Radio 1 comedy talk show Loose Talk with Kevin Day, and is a founder member of the London Comedy Store's hard hitting Cutting Edge show.
His political comedy show, The Mark Thomas Comedy Product (later renamed as simply The Mark Thomas Product, to reflect its increasing political agenda) on Channel 4 earned him criticism from politicians but was seen by critics as a crucial investigative tool
