Derek Nash’s ‘Protect the Beat’, co-led with the phenomenal drummer, Darby Todd (who has toured extensively with The Darkness, Rick Parfitt Jnr, Martin Barr and Key Marcello), re-unite for ONE NIGHT ONLY IN 2025 here in Hungerford on 20th September.

Taking influences from Morrisey Mullen, the Average White Band, the Brecker Brothers and the Yellowjackets and then creating their own unique, instrumental jazz/funk/fusion repertoire, the band’s line-up is completed by Neil Angilley (keys - Down to the Bone, Vanessa Mae, Michael Ball, War of the Worlds), Tim Cansfield (guitar - Bees Gees, Annie Lennox, Ray Charles) and Winston Blissett (bass - Massive Attack, Jeff Lorber).

A night not to be missed!
