'THE Lost Mules' are returning to the King's Arms in South Zeal (October 29) for a special charity performance of their blend of blues, funk, soul and swing.

The West Devon band has been entertaining audiences since the mid-1990s with a mix of its own songs and a few choice covers.

The band, Dave Chadwick (alto sax), Darren Crome (Drums), Charlie Curnow (guitar), Phil Haygarth (vocals, guitar, harmonica) and Anthony Power (bass) welcome people to join them at the King's Arms.

In doing so, you will be helping the Mules raise money for Exeter based-bereavement charity, 'balloons' (http://www.lookingonwards.org">www.lookingonwards.org) which provides community-based support for children, young people and their families following the loss of someone significant in their lives.
