BLUES rock trio Wille and the Bandits are gearing up for a Birmingham gig.

Formed in 2010, the British band, which consists of Wille Edwards, Matthew Brooks and Andrew Naumann, are often compared to the likes of Led Zeppelin, Santana and Pink Floyd.

Their sounds spans a variety of genres, including blues, rock and folk and their lyrics take listeners on a journey of self realisation, while others draw on global issues such as climate change and immigration.

Wille and the Bandits will play the Hare and Hounds in Kings Heath on Wednesday, October 4, supported by Claude Hay.

Tickets are available online from hareandhoundskingsheath.co.uk and cost £13.20.

Doors open at 7.30pm.
