Led by original guitarist Andy Powell, they have inspired bands including Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden with their pioneering, trademark twin-lead guitars say promoters.

“Their unique blend of blues, jazz and English folk continues to delight audiences throughout the world with a catalogue of nearly 40 albums.”

Support comes from local favourites 4th Labyrinth, who play a blend of energetic music somewhere between Queen, ELO, The Beatles and The Foo Fighters.

The event takes place on Sunday October 16 with advance tickets available for £18 from the box office on 01353 749749 or via www.cambridgerockfestival.co.uk
