A fine night of music is promised at The Cellar Bar, Quay Street, when Songdog play a showcase gig.

Songdog is a vehicle for the songs of Lyndon Morgans (from Blackwood in South Wales) with accompaniment from Karl Woodward (guitar/banjo/mandolin), Dave Paterson (drums/accordion), Jasper Salmon (violin) and, latterly, Mal Phillips (bass).

They gave an outstanding performance at the venue last year and their return has been much anticipated.

Described by Gavin Martin from The Mirror; 'Songdog are the most beautifully sardonic and poetic force ever to emerge from Blackwood, Wales...A canny sense of mischief lurks within.'

They will be performing Friday, July 10. Tickets are priced £10 and are available from the venue or visit: www.castlecafeandcellarbar.com
