King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys start the countdown to Christmas at the Marr's Bar, Worcester tomorrow (Saturday).

Hailed as one of the finest rhythm and blues bands to come from outside the US, the group deliver a shot of swing at a price of £18 on the door.

Rag time is the focus on Sun-day when Rag Mama Rag perform their repertoire of 20s and 30s based tunes as well as original compositions. Entry is £4.

The Pierpoint Street venue hosts a private party on Monday and is closed from Christmas Eve to Boxing Day.
