A SHORT sharp blast from the past hit the west coast when "Three Men and Black" took an acoustic walk through the music and influences of the late 70s and 80s.
Between them Jake Burns (Stiff Little Fingers), JJ Burnel (The Stranglers), Pauline Black (Selector), Nik Welsh (Selector and Bad Manners) are responsible for the honest, aggressive and energetic lyrics of over 60 self-penned hits.
After forming 12 months ago the songwriters took to the road under the name of Three Men and Black. Jamming along on one-another's hits the group proved popular with a cross-over fan base filling 21 of the 23 shows to great acclaim.
Between them their songs include Peaches, Golden Brown, European Female and No More Heroes.
The group performed in Whitehaven on February 10 and are the latest to be booked by the up-and-coming Whitehaven Civic Hall. For further details of events at the venue call 0194 685 2821.
