FAB Red Diesel

FAB Red Diesel play Pissarro's Townhouse Rooms on Friday 13 November, with the music starting at 20:30. It's a single-act night, so the whole set belongs to them.

If you're not familiar with the name, they describe their own sound as '21st Century bardic jazz'. It's a phrase that does a fair bit of heavy lifting: 'bardic' points to the storytelling tradition of the singer-songwriter, while 'jazz' brings in the improvisational side of things. Putting them together suggests a night that sits somewhere between a folk gig and a jazz set, with the songs leading the way and the playing filling in around them. It's the kind of description that tells you what they're aiming for without pinning them down to a single, tidy genre.

The venue is Pissarro's Townhouse Rooms, at 10 South Terrace in the town centre, so it's easy enough to get to on foot if you're already in Hastings. It's a central spot, right in the thick of things, which makes it a straightforward one to drop into on a Friday night.

Entry is free, so there's no ticket to sort in advance. The music starts at 20:30, and since it's a free show, you can just turn up on the night. FAB Red Diesel at Pissarro's Townhouse Rooms, Friday 13 November, 20:30, free entry.
