# LOOKING for an explosive blend of punk, rock and hands-over-ears loudness? You wouldn't go wrong with popping down to The Red Lion, Stevenage, tonight (Thursday) to catch Uniting the Elements.

# ARDENT Kicks are back headlining with some blistering new tracks. They are playing alongside new indie boys Montegu Rainbow and the Peep Show inspired Superhands at Shorty's Sports Bar, Hitchin, on Friday night. Doors open at 7.30pm.

# THE Phoenix in Hitchin is hosting yet another evening of sublime music this Saturday with Soul Captive Promotions presenting Look-See Proof and one of the area's premier bands, Model Horror. Tickets are £4.
