This weekend is Ribble Valley Jazz & Blues big weekend in Clitheroe. This is one of the events that we've been heavily involved with for many years!

Friday is Western Swing with The Swing Commanders.
Saturday sees Easy Listening, Straight Ahead and Big Band Jazz.
The Sunday is a banger! It has a modern feel with Aaron Liddard and his amazing band of London session musicians followed James Morton and his funky R&B/Jazz line up - again of top UK session musicians including our good friend Dennis Rollins on the trombone!

This Sunday we are proud to be able to invite a very special musician to Darwen. Suntou Susso stops off at Sunbird Records on his current UK tour.

Now we hate having to post things like this but although lots of you have said that you are coming to the event...we are a tad concerned about the number of tickets sold so far.

Please support us, support the venue and come to see something that many of you won't have witnessed before. When DMP first started out 27 years ago, our aim was to bring music to Darwen that locals would normally have to visit the big cities to experience.

This is exactly the kind of gig that we are known for promoting and Suntou is highly recommended!

Suntou Susso - The Future is Ancestral Solo Tour - Sunday 31st May 2026 | Sunbird Records, Darwen at Sunbird Records, Darwen on 31st May 2026. Buy tickets in just 2-clicks with our super-fast checkout
