Old Town Blues Club

[Kingy1066]

A new Blues Club starts in the Old Town this week, Every Thursday at The Royal Standard, bringing you the best in blues from the area. The opening night on 2Thursday 30th October features the great Miller Anderson (ex-Keef Hartley Band, Savoy Brown, Chicken Shack, Mountain, Spencer Davis Group, British Blues Quintet, T.Rex etc etc). The following week, Thursday 6th November features Roger Hubbard - 'As good as any blues guitar player in the UK or the US- - Muddy Waters, then Miller reuturns on 13th followed by Steve 'Boltz' Bolton oin the 20th (Steve was once the guitar player for THE WHO when Townsend was suffering from tinnitus, and has sessioned for everyone from Bowie, Keef Richards and Scott Walker)

A rare log-in to say how much I enjoyed Miller Anderson and the Prisonaires last time they played at The Standard. A very talented bunch, relaxed and having a good time in the way only expert musicians with no egos can.

The erm; 'intimate' venue was packed, but the atmosphere was genial, with the 'rug cutters' given elbow room with good grace! My friends and I commented that a lot of people seemed to be walk-ins, attracted by the music, rather than people who had made plans to go there.

For those of us who like a bit of live music, why not give this venture a try - I will definitely make an effort to get there.
