THEY hit the big time in the 1990s when they struck a chord with their crusty' brand of feel good tunes.

Catchy songs including One Way, What a Beautiful Day and Hope Street placed them firmly in the nation's subconciousness.

A string of hits and albums Levelling the Land and Zeitgeist spawned a loyal following that is still going strong today.

The original line-up's latest album Truth and Lies is their eighth studio offering and marks a stunning return to form with tracks like the live favourite Last Man Alive.

With a career spanning almost two decades, they have built up an established reputation as a class live act.

Their show at Southampton Guildhall this Sunday is guaranteed to be crammed full of energy and passion.

The Levellers will also be signing copies of their new live DVD Chaos Theory that afternoon in Borders on West Quay Road.
