In what must be considered both a coup and a major endorsement for the (comedic) musical prowess of Dominic Frisby and the Gilets Jaunes, former Best UK Guitarist winner (pipping Eric Clapton to the prize), Todd Sharpville, will be joining the Gilets Jaunes this Friday night, December 16th, in Camden to play at the Comedy Unleashed Christmas Knees Up.

Todd has played with, among others, Robbie Williams, BB King, Van Morrison, George Michael, Taj Mahal, Joe Cocker, Pink, Georgie Fame, Tommy Castro, Brian May and now, to cap it all, Dominic Frisby .

More importantly, Todd, the son of a baron - Baron Strange of Knockin, no less - is an aristocrat. Class and refinement will thus pervade the evening.

He is the world’s first and most blue-blooded bluesman.

Do not delay. Get your tickets here. There are not many left, train strike or not.

In other news, the Dominic Frisby Shop remains open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for all your Christmas present needs. Whether its amusing songs for errant-minded work colleagues and uncles, or a first edition of the greatest English musical ever produced for you age-ing parents, all your Christmas present and stocking filler CD solutions can be found here.
