Top guitar player Terry Allen is no stranger to Keighley after playing for Mojo Buford at the town's Spectrum Blues Club.

He returns to the popular club on February 10 with his own band, Trafficker, to play his own "not strictly blues" material.

Terry promises that the style of music will be a mix of British blues, retro rock and hints of jazz and folk.

The band came together about three years ago and, despite minor changes, constantly tours across the UK.

The band has recorded BBC Radio Two sessions for Paul Jones and supported Walter Trout, as well as backing Mojo's entire UK tour.

Tickets go on sale at tonight's sell-out concert by Kyla Brox, and to the general public tomorrow by phoning 07974 241801.

n The Aftermath drop into Bradford Ro's next Friday to headline a gig beginning at 7.30pm.

They're back at CJ's, next to Keighley railway station, the following night for another headliner.

Supporting them are signed band The Prophecy, as well as Bloodstream, The Belonging, and Skullcrusher.

n Johnny and the Poorboys are now selling tickets for their annual St Patrick's concert at St Anne's Social Centre.

Tickets for the March 17 gig cost £5 from 07973 950660.

"Buy early to avoid tears, tantrums and sleepless nights," said Johnny.

n The next generation of folk comes to Keighley's Bacca Pipes in the shape of Ruth Price and Sadie Greenwood.

The Dewsbury sisters -- both with young families -- perform solo, together and as part of three-part harmony group Hex.

They were heavily influenced by traditional song from a very early age, since the father Bill Price was a popular 1970s folk singer.

As well as contemporary material, the sisters' repertoire is drawn from various traditions including their own family, West Yorkshire and North America.

See Ruth and Sadie at Keighley Ukrainian Club, 9 Henry Street, off Cavendish Street, next Friday from 8.30pm. Phone 01535 605310.

n Local band The Trial are recording an eight-track self-produced CD entitled Life's a Disease... Music's the Cure.

The album, due out in March, will showcase a sound described as catchy 80s rock.

Members Thomas Pascoe, Mark Blackie and James Watson came together in 2003 as Social Suicide but disbanded after about six months.

Back together as The Trial, with more direction and purpose, they recruited experienced musician Mark Williams early last year.

"We are still experimenting with style to decide on our direction, and have a wide range of material," says the band.
