THE Blessing play site09 with a punk-jazz set in the Acoustic Ladyland vein on Saturday. Their debut album All is Yes won the BBC Jazz Album of the Year last year and their new album Bugs in the Amber has just been released. Mixing hard edged bass riffs, blasting horns, electronic trickery with massive drumming, their songs are an explosion of jazz, all wrapped up in a rather unusual sense of humour.

The Blessing, Stroud Valleys Artspace, John Street, Stroud, 10pm. Tickets cost £8/£6.50 and are available from Kane's records or by calling 01453 751440.

A special two gig ticket is available for The Blessing and John Hegley, an exceptional mix of poetry and punk jazz, £12.50/£10.50.
