Paul Bytheway, frontman and guitarist from The Retrosettes, The Horse Puppets and The Bytheways (who all play at M&Ps regularly) plays solo for the early music set.
In all the bands Paul plays, he is the singer guitarist, but interestingly, his first instrument is piano. As a teen he played in late 90s Brit-Pop bands, then joined a touring tribute to The Doors (as the organist/left hand bassist!). Paul has played all over the world as a guitarist, and in the studio as a pianist/synth player, this is a chance to hear him play piano and sing live, to show where his musical influences began.
For fans of The Doors, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, 80s new romantics and 90s Britpop.

Lucas D & The Groove Ghetto are a 7-piece Soul and Funk outfit playing a hugely eclectic mix of music from awe-inspiring soul, to all-time classic disco, through to modern chart tracks given the Lucas D treatment.
Fronted by Cat Davis, the band consists of a red-hot horn section (trumpet, flugelhorn, saxophone, and flute), some of the coolest keys, guitar and bass riffing and improvising out there, plus irresistible beats and rhythms coming from drums and percussion.
Not only does this band have the perfect Saturday night setlist, they have the feel-good attitude sure to make you finish the night with a big smile. The combination of Cat’s superb vocals and the band’s extraordinary solos will leave you tempted to stay on the dance floor for all three forty-five minute sets!
From Diana Krall, to Leo Sayer, to the Jackson Sisters, to Al Green, to Amy Winehouse, to Sister Sledge, to Stevie Wonder, to Arctic Monkeys… They’ve got it all!
