» 8:30pm 'Chelle Dean - Female Solo Acoustic
'Chelle Dean - Female Solo Acoustic 'Chelle Dean is a musical 'Jack of all trades', belting out acoustic versions of songs from across the decades and taking in almost every genre along the way. With a strong, soulful, distinctive voice and blistering acoustic rhythm guitar style, don't let the lack of any other band members fool you into thinking you'll be nodding off in the corner. If you want to hear Pixie Lott, The Eagles and Dolly Parton in the same ten minutes, and much more besides, then 'Chelle Dean is the woman you'll want to hear.

» 8:30pm South of 55th
South of 55th South of 55th, the five-piece phenomena influenced by the Chicago blues scene will be performing on The Tanners stage tonight following their success at the Festival of Sound. As a result of a migration of workers from the ‘deep south’ of America, the foundations for much of tonight’s music were laid in Chicago. Blues fan and front man of South of 55th, Neil Thompson, said: “Everything we play was a hit in its own right, and from the Windy City or not it has generated the vibe of the 50s, 60s and 70s clubs where it was popular.” A two-week visit to Chicago researching the Blues culture has given the band a valuable insight. Neil added: “Just playing the music isn’t the whole picture. Interaction with the audience is vital - they are out to be entertained.” The name South of 55th refers to the neighbourhoods where this music was played daily. Greats from the influential Chess Records company - Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Willie Dixon, feature strongly in the band’s performances. “We have a vast range of experience and musical interests away from the band, but this thing really works for us all”, Neil told The Resident newspaper.

» 8pm HORSHAM SKEPTICS IN THE PUB: 'The Spirit Level Delusion' with Chris Snowdon
HORSHAM SKEPTICS IN THE PUB: 'The Spirit Level Delusion' with Chris Snowdon Christopher Snowdon, author of "The Spirit Level Delusion" will be challenging the theory made in the best-selling book "The Spirit Level" that 'more equal societies almost always do better'. By fact-checking the book's statistics and reviewing the scientific literature, he will argue that there is no correlation between income inequality and a country's health, happiness and well-being. The hypothesis in "The Spirit Level" is, he says, based on selective evidence and flawed reasoning. Whatever your political affiliation, you will come away from this talk a little more sceptical about the various statistics you read or hear about from day to day. Christopher Snowdon is the author of "The Spirit Level Delusion" (2010), Velvet Glove, Iron Fist (2009), and most recently "The Art of Suppression". He has written about The Spirit Level debate in Spiked, The Guardian and the Wall Street Journal, and debated with its authors at the Royal Society of Arts in July 2010. ENTRY FEE WILL BE £2.00 TO COVER THE SPEAKER'S EXPENSES, ETC. Find out more about HORSHAM SKEPTICS IN THE PUB: 'The Spirit Level Delusion' with Chris Snowdon
