Jones and McGuinness are former members of British invasion band Manfred Mann, Fletcher was the bass player of seventies band Sam Apple Pie and Towsned was a drummer with Family.

Meanwhile Kelly has been dubbed one of Britain's best slide guitarists, having played with the John Dummer Blues Band and toured with blues legends Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker.

Tickets for the Square and Compass’ Christmas party cost £20 in advance on 01823-480467 or £22 on the night.

Doors open at 8pm for a 9pm start.
