Live music at Leopold Square: Dead Mans Uke, Lindsay Dracass and Ryan Taylor

Friday 18th August - Dead Mans Uke - 5pm to 7pm
Dead Man's Uke are a dirt swing duo that blend old school blues and hokum with Americana to create their foot stomping sound. With Tim Smithies playing the ukulele that one belonged to Tiny Tim and Jake Smithies on double base, the band has already stomped their way across the UK and Ireland and are now bringing their crazy cover versions and jaunty original material to the Leopold Square terraces.

Saturday 19th August - Lindsay Dracass - 2pm to 4.30pm
Since representing the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2001 with her song 'No Dream Impossible', Sheffield-born Lindsay has had a notable career as a featured vocalist, and has performed alongside Paul Carrack, The Eagles, and the Acoustic Angels. Lindsay has a powerhouse voice that shouldn't be missed.

Sunday 20th August - Ryan Taylor - 2pm to 4.30pm
Having performed at some of the world's most prestigious and respected festivals and venues, including a residency at The Burj Al Arab, Dubai and headline appearances at Glastonbury's Jazz and Blues Stage, Ryan is a versatile and experienced touring and session keyboard player. The latest line-up features a punching horn section, as well as of the finest rhythm sections in the North - expect a set of hard hitting funk, and soulful grooves to vibe to. Brought up on a strict diet of Stevie Wonder, Prince, James Brown and Michael Jackson, as well as Robert Glasper, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, Ryan injects some jazz and soul into the nu-funk idiom.
