Today's Video Of The Day is our friends The Sultana Brothers - featuring the magnificent Dave Plowman. Formed in 1995 and with influences in R&B, Rock 'N' Roll, Blues and Rock - the band have continued to receive glowing reviews. Having spent the early years cutting their teeth and developing a sound of their own in the local pubs and clubs, The Sultana Brothers have now become one of the most acclaimed bands in the Midlands. The solid combination of Phil (drums) and Pete (bass) added to Adam's Boogie piano and Dave's sensational guitar work - and an unbelievable mix of Rhythm & Blues explodes. In 2006 they were joined by Dave H 'The Hat' (lead vocals and Blues harp). His Blues-Jazz voice and great harp playing added a whole new dimension to the music, making an exciting five-piece band who enjoy the music they make as much as their audience do!

As well as Steve B. beavering away behind the BluesRockfest scenes last Saturday were the dynamic duo from the Rock On The Ridge Radio Show - Jules & Bob.

So look out for that." So make sure you tune in here tonight from 8pm to see what gems they might have in store!
