I'm in the process of updating the website.
Everything should still be available.
Upcoming Events
Tues 7th Feb - The Shufflepack
The poster boys for the club. Always a great night.
Out
to play swinging R&B and shuffling blues. That’s proper R&B kids, not
RnB, that funny stuff they do now.
What you get is a taste of 1950’s Chicago, with a bit of 1940s here and there.
Which means Howlin’ Wolf, Sonny Boy Williamson, Wynonie Harris, Jimmy Reed,
Muddy Waters and that well know apiarist Roosevelt “Honeydripper’ Sykes. Not
forgetting the three Kings, Freddie, Albert & B.B.
In between there is a fair dose of 21st Century Chilterns, with
original blues by Son Maxwell, and his reinterpretations of old blues classics
like Evil and Shame, Shame, Shame. Fortunately they still sound an awful lot
like 1950s Chicago; none of that noisy blues rock, thank you very much.
If you like your blues cool and yet, somehow, hot, The Shufflepack are your men.
They will be joined by The Mojo Mules
Blues Jam Wednesday 15th February
Doors at 6:30 Masterclass at 7:30 and then the Jam starts soon after at 8pm.
Tues 21st Feb - Jimmy Regal & The Royals.
Review of live show at the 100 Club: They
opened the show in spectacular style... Joff's harp playing is truly virtuoso.
Whether on diatonic or chromatic, Joff is one of the finest blues, blue/rock
harp players on the circuit. CJ's solos are understated yet sublimely elegant.
Sammy's percussion is powerful and steady, and provides a hard-driving backdrop
to each song. This is an excellent band, only just beginning to make its mark,
but the trajectory is pointing upwards. There is much more to come. (Blues in
Britain magazine)
Catch 66 will be opening the proceedings with an acoustic set.
Harmonica players. Those of you who have had harmonica lessons at The Stables, Wavendon may well already know the bands leader as Joff Watkins harmonica tutor
Tues 7th March - The Steve Summers band
Steve, most recently joined us as part of the Long Road Home band. This is his own band that Mark thought you deserved to see again.
Blues Jam Wednesday 15th March
