A RETRO rocker will be live and loud in Worcester next weekend hot on the heels of the release of his new album.

Gypsy Lee Pistolero, who was the founder, main songwriter and frontman of the band Gypsy Pistoleros, is flying solo at the Pig and Drum in Lowesmoor on Saturday, December 8.

During his time with the band they released three critically acclaimed albums and an EP, but now Lee is rocking out under his own banner on the back of new long-player The Good, The Mad and The Beautiful which comes out on Monday.

A master of the dirty sounds of a Gretsch guitar, he has enlisted the help of former White Trash UK bandmate Mark Westwood to co-write, produce and play lead guitar and bass on the album, along with Phantom Rocker on drums, and Kris Jones on trumpet.
