    An iconic and seminal figure in the musical history of a city littered with iconic and seminal figures, Allen Toussaint epitomises the rich traditions of New Orleans. Schooled in the jazz, he played a pivotal role in the formation of the distinctive New Orleans funk sound of the 1960s and 70s (giving rise to Eddie Bo and The Meters to name but two) before moving in to the city's rhythm and blues sound.

    In recent years he has worked alongside the likes of Elvis Costello, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and earned a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

  3. The Blind Boys of Alabama

    The Lemon Tree Lounge

    Friday 13 November, doors 7.30pm

    18/16 + bf

    The word legendary is often bandied about, but in The Blind Boys of Alabama we truly are talking about legends of American music. They have been recording and performing together since the mid-1930s, blending gospel and blues standards. Pre-dating Elvis, Little Richard and Al Green to name but three, their influence has spread far and wide throughout the music industry.

    In recent years they have been sweeping up Grammy Awards, had their tunes remixed for Moby's Play, performed and recorded with everyone from Peter Gabriel to Ben Harper and covered tunes by everyone from Prince to Tom Waits in their own inimitable style.

    Oh, and they performed the theme tune to season one of The Wire! If that isn't kudos I don't know what is!

    Tickets available from Aberdeen Box Office, 01224 6471122.
