THE incredible sound of Otis Redding's music is rolling into town next Friday, as two of the UK's most exciting raw soul acts join forces to mark 50 years since the singer’s death.

Otis Redding, who died in 1967 aged 26, is widely considered to be one of the greatest singers in history and a key role model in soul music as well as rhythm and blues.

Originally commissioned by Soul Cookers Records for Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival 2008, this uplifting show combines the charismatic Burundian singer songwriter Mudibu with Hammond and horns from The Jezebel Sextet.

Guests can expect to hear 20 of his all-time classics including hits such as Respect, My Girl, Mr Pitiful, Hard To Handle, Love Man, and Try A Little Tenderness - performed by an eight-piece band guaranteed to get you boogying.

The show on June 9 will start at 7.30pm and cost £16 per ticket or £14 concs.

Recent performances include The Jazz Cafe, The Boisdale Club, 100 Club, The Hideaway Club, and Hootananny in London; Band On the Wall in Manchester; The Stables in Milton Keynes; The Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal.

Festival bookings include Saint Paul Soul Jazz Festival; Roubaix Vintage Weekender; Tighten Up Festival in Marseille; and Grand Casino Soulstice Party in Nice.
