The pair will be on stage at the Guildhall on January 6.

Best known as founding and continuing members of The Blues Band, the duo have been playing together for more than 30 years, performing to packed halls everywhere they go.

A Lichfield Arts spokesman said: “As well as their own original material, they play songs from the blues, jazz and soul repertoire with verve and integrity.

“They not only know and perform the work of the greats, ranging from Howling Wolf, John Lee Hooker and Sonny Boy Williamson, they actually played alongside them and enjoyed their friendship.

“A live acoustic set by this dynamic duo is an occasion you’ll remember. If you’re a true blues fan, everything you need will be here.”

Tickets are available from www.lichfieldarts.org.uk or by calling 01543 262223.
