Skip McDonald - Skip McDonald IS Little Axe. originally from Dayton, Ohio Skip played the blues from the age of 8 (1957), although by the time he was 12 years old he had opted to perform doo-wop. Along with bassplayer Doug Wimbish and drummer Keith LeBlanc formed the house band for the pioneering rap label Sugar Hill, providing the music for some of the most seminal records of the era by Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaata et al. From there he worked closely with Adrian Sherwood on many of projects for the On-U Sound label, as well as spearheading the band Tackhead and working with Living Colour. He has been the prime mover behind Little Axe since around 1992, the debut album "Wolf That House Built" was a personal take on blues and dub, and was released to critical acclaim in 1994. Skip has continued to fuse blues and electronic music into this decade. Along with Skip we welcome back Rupert Orton from Not The Same Old Blues Crap (www.punkrockblues.co.uk) who will talking about the month-long Spitz Festival of Blues which will feature Little Axe among a large and diverse range of shows.

live music from Cormac Heron - following a number of years in bands Derry born, London based Cormac has developed a unique solo act involving much solo banjo madness and stilt walking – following the success of his christmas extravaganza, 'Welcome To The Paul Gadd Institute of Child Psychology - The Nativity Rock Opera', he appears this Friday at the 12 Bar club (Denmark Street) with a specially conceived show 'With or Without You, I Cannot Live With or Without You', a guitar/banjo/accordion one-man set with cut-up U2 tracks as backing – a performance that will bring the old and the new Irelands together in a love story mixed up in religion, drugs, sexual immaturity and prostitution. Cormac will be giving us a sample of what Friday might bring and maybe some of his ‘normal’ show as well. www.cormacheron.com www.12barclub.com

we also welcome Manna records head-honcho Anthony Peters – we will be having a chat about and hearing from acoustic/electronica/hip hop/indie delights from artists such as Imeus, The Nag's Head, Monkey' Don't! and The Imaginary Friends – the new Nag’s Head is called ‘Welcome to the Meat Raffle’, had to explain yesterday why I found that funny, isn’t everyone familiar with the great British tradition of a pub meat raffle? or is it an east London thing?www.mannarecords.co.uk
