"Come along and enjoy a chilled evening, and support our town," said Dursley After Hours Chair Danae Savvidou.

"We are organising a series of once a month Friday evenings through the summer, on 20 May, 17 June, 19 August and 16 September, and have some great music lined up."

Supported with a grant from Dursley Town Council, the events are organised by town councillors and friends Danae Savvidou, Doina Cornell, Wendy Thomas and Anja Rowston.

Leon Hunt and Jason Titley's musical partnership started way back in the early nineties, at some truly unforgettable late-night festival jams.

The magic of those early sessions inevitably led to the formation of a band, the groundbreaking and hugely popular ‘progressive’ bluegrass outfit, Daily Planet no less.

Numerous projects and years later, they’re back as a duo, making the very most of the musical chemistry they always had but with the addition of decades of experience.
