Already proven their worth at the worlds biggest Fringe festival in Edinburgh and have been dubbed “…truly inspirational…” by Fringe Review 2010 and they are on a steller path of success that is going to be unstoppable.

When a voice comes along like Liam Bailey’s people sit up and listen hard. Already proved his worth with the release of his two EPs last year – 2am Rough Tracks and So Down, Cold. And has toured with the incredible Chase and Status last year after quest vocal duties on their smash Blind Faith single.

TNC is proud to have the opportunity of interviewing Liam when he comes to Brighton Centre tomorrow supporting Plan B in what is set to be on of the musical highlights of 2011. His voice is so rich, powerful, soulful and with the release of his new single “You better Leave Me” on the 13th March Liam Bailey is set to make 2011 his year.

This is a great chance to see the start of something incredible…

Cable, one of London’s newest and hottest clubs, is hosting an incredible night tomorrow. See below for details, and I hope to see some of you there!

Two hours as standard from Friction promises the usual roadblock in room 1 as the main man gets ready to dig deep for this one whilst heavily supported by Alix Perez and what’s sure to be a disgusting session from Break & SpectraSoul. Then it’s a shot in the arm for those who know and a history lesson for the younger attendees as Shogun plays host to a massive three-man classic Virus set from luminaries Optical, Fierce and Matrix. Finally rounding off room 1 are the undoubted talents of Icicle and Rockwell.

As Always Room 2 will offer a little respite with a jungle set from Ray Keith and alternative sets from Phaeleh, Rockwell and Reference.

Room 1 - The Temple: FRICTION (2HRS), ALIX PEREZ, BREAK B2B SPECTRASOUL, OPTICAL B2B FIRCE B2B MATRIX (Classic Virus Set), ICICLE, ROCKWELL Hosted by SP:MC, Lowqui, Mantmast and AD

Full review of the night to follow.

There is nothing that can contain the glee and joy we have been experiencing here when we hear that The Secret Sisters, Laura and Lydia Rogers where not only going to be supporting Ray Lamontagne when he comes back to the UK but that TNC had secured an interview with the sisters.

Supporting their new single ‘Tennessee Me‘, an original song written by Laura the sisters self titled album has made them the most talked about group of the past year. Their charm lies in the simple and incredible way the Alabama natives have produced their music which has at its heart a beauty that makes listening to music a joy.

Nothing really will prepare you for the sisters who have already appeared on the BBC long running New Years Eve Hootenanny hosted by Jools Holland and have worked with music producing icon T-Bone Burnett. So there is little doubt that these two sisters are set to stun during their UK Tour and are going to leave us all wanting more.
