Af­ter half-past-nine on Thurs­day night, De Nu Pub is set to get very hot in­deed as joint­pop takes the stage in the lat­est in­stall­ment of the New Fire con­cert se­ries.

The long-lived lo­cal rock-n-roll band is prepar­ing a set in­clud­ing old­er favourites and new songs from their up­com­ing al­bum Quick­sand.

Af­ter al­most two decades play­ing mu­sic, both abroad and at di­verse lo­cal stages, the show will mark joint­pop's first per­for­mance at the leg­endary cul­ture mec­ca which has been a haven for ca­lyp­so mu­sic for decades.

Lead singer Gary Hec­tor is look­ing for­ward: "I've been to see great shows there–from Spar­row to Rud­der to Zan­dolie and Blakie–al­ways loved the vibe of the venue. You could feel the his­to­ry in the place.

"I tried a few times to book a gig there in the past and it nev­er hap­pened, so we're look­ing for­ward to it fi­nal­ly.

"Now I could say I've played CBG­Bs in New York, The 100 Club in Lon­don, and fi­nal­ly The Mas Camp Pub!(De Nu Pup)."

Singer-song­writer Gillian Moor will al­so be per­form­ing, de­but­ing her new band. She said: "We're re­al­ly ex­cit­ed about open­ing for joint­pop, one of my favourite bands over the years–and on this stage!"

The New Fire con­cert se­ries run by mu­si­cian/ac­tivist Ger­ry An­tho­ny Williams, fea­tures the best of T&T's non-main­stream and in­de­pen­dent bands and mu­si­cians, in­clud­ing Gyazette, Or­ange Sky, Sol­man and West In­di­an Rhythm Kon­nec­tion (WIRK).
