Five young women - impressive vocalists all - are in the
spotlight this month
The Victory Dolls are the headline guests.
Emma, Vicky and Catherine vividly capture the essence of the

previously appeared with her band The Risen Road. Tonight she will be playing a

Ali McKenzie-Wilcox |
Late last year I was in a pub filled with raucous Christmas
revelry, with a full band struggling to make itself heard, when the place fell

memorable moment and I’m pleased to say that, after some cajoling, Ali, the singer
in question, will be providing the other support slot.
