DESCRIBED as a "whirlwind duo of female energy and ecstasy" Never the Bride will play at The Railway Inn, Winchester on Saturday ( June 17).

The band has released six studio albums to date and have performed shows for Cher, Liza Minnelli and Bob Harris from BBC.

The legendary Dame Shirley Bassey called the girls “inspirational”, whilst The Who's Roger Daltrey broadcast: “Nikki Lamborn has the best female rock voice since Janis Joplin and I know what I’m talking about, I knew Janis”.

'An absolutely brilliant band, one of the best live bands in Britain' (Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2).

Their live performance is awesome, given the live operatic architecture they consistently unfurl upon their willing audiences. They have invaded venues that include The Royal Albert Hall and Wembley Arena supporting The Who. They have played alongside Elton John and toured alongside Roger Daltrey and Paul Rogers. They have also stormed venues such as The Viper Room in LA - where they were noted as one of the top favourite moments of the past 21 years - and Eurofests galore as well as intimate spaces like The Green Note in Camden. Never The Bride have amazed and floored a variety of audiences throughout their 25 years of service – these ladies are true rock and roll royalty!

Tickets £17 on the door or £15 in advance online at: www.neverthebride.com
