Katie Plus Juan

Katie Plus Juan play Ye Olde Fighting Cocks on Saturday 7 November, from 8pm to 11.30pm. They're an acoustic duo known for powerful vocals, inventive mashups and a big sound, with a versatile repertoire and surprising song choices. Their set pairs familiar songs in inventive combinations, so you'll hear songs you know in ways you might not expect.

It's a good night to drop into if you're already out in the city that evening. The gig falls on the same night as the Verulamium Park fireworks, and since no booking is required, it's easy to work around. You can head to the park for the display and then drift over to the pub, or stop in for a few drinks first and make the fireworks your after-party.

Ye Olde Fighting Cocks is at 16 Abbey Mill Lane, St Albans, AL3 4HE. There's no entry fee for the night, so you can just turn up when you're ready. The music runs from 8pm until 11.30pm, which gives you plenty of time to settle in.
