Lil' Jimmy Reed will be bringing The 'A' Team to shoot up Worcester's Huntingdon Hall with amazing sounds.

But don't get looking for Mr T among the line-up (you crazy fool!).

The 'A' Team is the name of Lil' Jimmy's awesome combo.

A spokesman said: "From shot-gun shack and cotton-field to festival main stage, the prodigious talents of Lil’ Jimmy Reed have taken him a long way from the Mississippi river. One of the last surviving performers of classic Louisiana down-home blues, Lil’ Jimmy’s stinging guitar work, gritty vocals and haunting harmonica have been taking Europe by storm.

"Blues music was born in the deep South, a wild outcry against segregation, poverty and hard, back-breaking work. Sadly most of the great musicians who created this vibrant, influential music have passed on, leaving only their recordings to testify to their genius. However, one man, whose career stretches back to the time when rhythm ‘n’ blues was just bursting onto the popular music scene, is still with us and playing better than ever."

At the tender age of 80, Leon Atkins, better known as Lil’ Jimmy Reed, is the real deal.

The spokesman said: "This will be attested to by anyone who has been privileged to see and hear him perform.

"His music has won him many awards and in 2014 he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame. He is accompanied by The ‘A’ Team, comprising critically-acclaimed pianist Bob Hall, widely regarded as the UK’s finest blues and boogie exponent, and diminutive dynamo Hilary Blythe on bass. Over the past five years this tight little outfit has given a series of show-stopping performances all over Europe."

The date for the diary is March 22.
