Friday 1st December is an essential date for your diary as the Queen of Lovers Rock SUSAN CADOGAN comes to the Hare and Hounds for live show backed by the Friendly Fire Band.

Hailing from Jamaica, Susan Cadogan came to fame with her Lee Perry produced “Hurt So Good” , which she performed at Top of the Pops in 71, propelling the tune to the top of the charts in the UK. Her recent singles include Where is the Love with the Friendly Fire Band and more recently , she has recorded with Ken Boothe, Mad Professor, and many more.

Here’s an extract of the first show she performed with the Friendly Fire Band back in 2011 – a song she originally sang with Ruddy Thomas, performed alongside Peter Spence for the occasion.
