n Popular covers band The Big Bang, pictured, is supporting fellow Keighley outfit Hush at its annual charity concert. Tickets are now on sale for the Victoria Hall show on May 17 in aid of Airedale Hospital breast cancer unit.

Hush is the brainchild of Riddlesden singer-songwriter Don Gaudiosi and plays a mix of his own songs and well-known pop and rock covers.

The Big Bang, which performs regularly, has built a strong following for its hard-edged 60s covers.

Buy tickets for the concert from Keighley Information Centre in the town hall, open weekdays.

n Pete Tyson provides music and entertainment tomorrow at Churchill's club in North Street, Keighley.

n John McCormick drops into the Bacca Pipes Folk Club tonight as part of a visit to our shores from his US home.

The Californian performer -- no stranger to Keighley -- headlines at the club's venue in St Anne's Catholic Club, Spring Gardens Lane.

"John is a great singer with a thoughtful mix of material from both sides of the Atlantic," says Bacca spokesman Alan Rose.

"His CD Between Our Hearts is highly recommended. As well as his singing and guitar skills he is a real 'people person' whose warmth and wry humour are much to the fore."

See John after 8.30pm. Coming up: Archie Fisher (May 10) and Ray Hearne (May 24).

n The Alpine Movement comes to Keighley next month to kick off regular live music nights under the MMM Productions banner.

n Acoustic blues performer Emily Druce is building a strong name for herself through appearances at music festivals around the country.

The Worth Valley has become a regular haunt for the Hebden Bridge singer-songwriter over the past two years.

She returns on May 4 for her biggest local date yet, headlining the latest Spiv Promotions concert at Haworth Parkside Social Club.

Emily has chosen the concert to launch both her first national tour and her latest CD New Day.

Spiv spokesman Chris Bray says Emily was one of the first artists promoted by the outfit in Haworth. "It is a privilege and a pleasure to stage the first concert of the tour," he adds.

"Emily is now an established artist and has worked with top performers like Dr Feelgood, Mary Coughlan and Dave Kelly."

Tickets for the May 4 gig -- at the former Royal British Legion Club, in Butt Lane -- cost £4 from 01535 642566.
