Sets will also come from gypsy jazz guitarist Marc Playle and local harmonica player Jim Bullock.

Phil Wynn, banjo player in Heavenly Thrillbillies, said: “The huge range of music on offer takes you from the 1930s Paris jazz cafes all the way to Chicago blues, delta blues, goodtime country blues, bluegrass and country music.

“With Jim Bullock playing it could also include Cuban and Latin American tunes.”

The gig starts at 12.30pm at Pop Recs Ltd in Stockton Road, Sunderland, on February 6. Entry is 
free.
