Performing songs spanning four decades of some of the greatest rock anthems ever written, U2UK recreate the most captivating moments of the tours which have earned U2 their reputation as ‘the World’s Greatest Rock Band’.

Then, on Saturday, September 10, you can enjoy the visit to the King Street venue on Lil’ Jim & The Z Theory.

RAW Promotions are proud to present a concert by one of Derby’s finest accordion players, fronting a full-on electric Swamp/Stomp band.

Bursting into the forefront with a fresh, new style is Lil Jim & Z Theory, the self proclaimed ‘Kings of Swamp Stomp’.

They bring something different to the musical table, with each member having a deep and in-depth knowledge of various genres.

They have combined together to create a unique style that is all their own.

Take the energy of ska, the sleaze of blues and the culture of Louisiana and mix that with four respected musicians and you get Swamp Stomp, led exclusively by the accordion, which Lil Jim thrashes around during their live performances.

He is still heralded in some circles as the brightest hope for Cajun and Zydeco music in Europe and has been voted ‘Best Accordion Player in Europe’.
