Profile: In Fear of Olive

Local favourites In Fear of Olive continue to raise their profile with an appearance on Clive Anderson's Loose Ends on Radio 4 this Saturday (21st May 2011).


Their blues and country infused debut EP is brilliantly produced and full of sophisticated melody and musicianship, and can be heard on the band's website.


Upcoming gigs include Springboard Festival in Cottingham on 27th-29th May then Soyo Live in Sheffield on 13th June - we look forward to their next homecoming concert though!


Also check out their facebook, myspace and youtube pages.

Profile: Kiziah & The Kings

Described as a band with essential elements from soul, rock, reggae, pop and blues, Doncaster's own Kiziah and the Kings deserve your attention.

Frontwoman Kiziah's big soulful voice evokes the sounds of past legends and is on full display on Baby Don't Go, their current single, which shows they have the energy and groove to match strong melody.

An appearance on Look North and support of well backed Californians The Like aside, a deeper delve into Kiziah & The Kings's material reveals virtuosity as well as variety - elements which surely mean more recognition in 2011.


Baby Don't Go is available from Amazon and iTunes and a series of gigs are currently being planned - these are ones to keep an eye on!

Doncaster’s magnificent new venue opens in summer 2013. Featuring 21st century facilities – two main performance spaces and two studios – one for dance and one for drama, plus meeting rooms and a café bar, it will change the arts and entertainments on offer in Doncaster dramatically.

Open from early morning until well after shows have finished, it will offer workshops, classes, films and live entertainment for all ages and interests. Its café bar will look out onto the new public square and be a lovely space to simply sit and take time out or to meet friends for a coffee and a chat.
