The XTones

The XTones are playing The Blacksmiths Arms on Saturday 15 May, with the set running from 21:30 until midnight. It's a four-piece covers set, so you'll get a full band on stage rather than a stripped-back version of the group. Lizzie fronts the band on vocals and guitar, and she's the one leading them through the night.

As a covers band, they're playing songs they've taken from other artists rather than their own original material, and with four of them on stage, it's a full band sound. Lizzie takes the lead on vocals and guitar, so she's the one you'll be watching at the front. The set runs for a good stretch of the evening, starting at half-past nine and going on until midnight, which gives them plenty of room to work through a decent-sized list of songs without having to rush it.

If you're planning your nights out in St Albans, it's worth knowing this isn't their only date at the pub. The Blacksmiths Arms is also due to host another XTones night on Saturday 13 November, which starts at the same time, 21:30. So if you can't make the May one, there's another chance to catch them later in the year.

For the first date, the details are straightforward: The XTones at The Blacksmiths Arms, 56 St Peter's Street, AL1 3HG, on Saturday 15 May, starting at 21:30 and running until midnight.
