Tinariwen, master poets and perhaps the coolest guitar players on the planet are up there with Franz Ferdinand, Dizzy Rascal, The Editors, Massive Attack and Orbital - YES the Toureg rebel band from Mali are playing one of Sheffield's main rock venues at last!! It has always been a dream of the band's manager, Andy Morgan to see these masters of the Fender Sratocaster and the Gibson on the same stage as European rock artists. They were booked to play both the main and the pyramid stage at Glastonbury but visa issues resulted in a an unfortunate cancellation....catch them now in our own manor.
