Roomfulla Blues Jam night.
Open Mic: come and jam with the house band, see the MC for the night, get your new songs out there, polish the old ones, have fun, be prepared to jam with others if invited.
Flying up over the Rimutakas comes Kemp Turirangi, box and gat, and bassman Paul DuFresne, joined by our very own Roger Watkins on drums and Dougal Speir on guitar. A blues club favourite night.
James Cameron and Andrew London came to a startling realisation recently, they were GrownUps (how did that happen!) and so they’d better get a move on. Bringing a mix of jazz, blues, country and rock n roll, they plan to have a rollicking good night at the Roomfulla blues, along with Nils Olsen and Lance Philip on keys.
Our very own divine Julie Lamb is bringing her red hot band back to the Bristol for a night a soulfulness, fun and magic.
Jam night, end of the month, and it’s time to come down and play a couple of your favourite blues tunes for the crowd, talk to the MC and sit in with the excellent house band.
MERRIN, soul and blues.
more description to come…… Lisa Tagaloa on bass
