Barbican Jazz and Blues Festival 2010
Best Jazz Vocalist at the BBC Jazz Awards in 2007 and 2004, Ian Shaw has already amassed a number of highly acclaimed albums and is a popular performer both in the UK and the US.
An incredibly colourful character, he has been cited, along with Mark Murphy and Kurt Elling, as one of the world's finest male jazz vocalists.
Collaborators over the years include Quincy Jones, Abudullah Ibrahim, Mornington Lockett, Cleo Laine, John Dankworth and Cedar Walton.
His latest collaboration is a celebrated duet show with Claire Martin, pictured top, award-winning singer and won Best Vocalist at the British Jazz Awards 2009.
She is described as 'the most gifted jazz singer this country has produced in 20 years', and has shared stages with James Brown, Mark Murphy, Kurt Elling and Tony Bennett.
Empirical have won UK and European jazz awards for their incredible work which has put them at the forefront of new jazz.
They're utterly contemporary, yet discernibly influenced both by the classic jazz of the Fifties and Sixties (Wayne Shorter, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Ornette Coleman).
They opened the London Jazz Festival last year, performed at the famous Newport Jazz Festival in the States, and feature regularly in national music media.
Jazzwise Magazine even went as far to say the band could 'turn out to be one of the most important bands in UK jazz history'.
Finally, Dennis Rollins, pictured bottom, and his explosively funky band Badbone, return to Plymouth following their show at The Guildhall last June.
This British trombonist has worked with Roy Ayers, The Roots, Dionne Warwick, Jamiroquai, Cypress Hill, Hermeto Pascoal, Brand New Heavies, George Clinton, Lonnie Liston Smith, Blur, US3, Tom Jones, Erykah Badu, Marcus Miller, Courtney Pine, Sting, Percy Sledge, Gorillaz and more!
Tickets for the festival go on sale soon. See www.barbicanjazzandbluesfestival.com for more details.N-Dubz Coming to Plymouth
The group, who have won three MOBOs, will play Plymouth Pavilions on April 14, 2010 as part of the Against All Odds tour.
N-Dubz, from Camden, have had three top 40 hits in the UK singles chart and a platinum-selling album.
The group's second album, also titled Against All Odds, went into the UK charts at number six last week.
Comprised of Dino 'Dappy' Contostavlos, Tula 'Tulisa' Contostavlos, and Richard 'Fazer' Rawson, N-Dubz originally met as schoolmates and began their recording career as the Lickle Rinsers Crew.
After changing their name to N-Dubz, the group began to experience modest chart success in 2006. But it wasn't until 2008 that the group hit the big time,, with hits such as Ouch, Papa Can You Hear Me and I Need You as well as collaborations with Tinchy Stryder, Pixie Lott, Chipmunk, Mr Hudson and Wiley.
N-Dubz's first tour sold out within days and five extra dates had to be added. Plymouth is one of just 16 dates across the UK.
Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Friday, December 4 from 0845 146 1460 and www.plymouthpavilions.com

Snooker Legends Show at Plymouth Pavillions
The snooker legends show at Plymouth Pavilions on July 24 has been rescheduled due to a booking clash.
One of the show's stars, Jimmy White, is contractually obliged to defend his Samsung Bangkok 6 Reds Championship title this year.
Unfortunately, the Thailand Authority announced the dates this week and they clashed with the Pavilions show.
Therefore, Jimmy and Alex ‘Hurricane’ Higgins, John ‘The Entertainer’ Parrott and Cliff ‘The Grinder’ Thorburn will be visiting the venue two weeks earlier than originally planned.
Plymouth Pavilions marketing officer Robert Maltby said "Tickets already purchased will be valid for the rescheduled date.
"However, if you are unfortunately unable to make this new date, please contact a member of the Box Office team and they will be happy to arrange a full refund.
"We apologise for any inconvenience that this change in scheduling may cause, and look forward to welcoming customers to see the show on the new date."
The snooker legends will now visit Plymouth Pavilions on July 10. Tickets cost £20 on 0845 146 1460 and http://www.plymouthpavilions.com/
