Thursday 7 February	CATFISH British Blues Award, European Blues Award and Blues Act of The Year Winners, CATFISH, have carved a reputation for themselves as an excellent live band with a phenomenal frontman in 23 year old guitarist/vocalist, Matt Long, who plays with a real passion for the blues. The band crashed into the blues scene in January 2015 with their debut album, 'So Many Roads', going straight in at No. 1 in the IBBA Blues Airplay charts.  Their EP, a tribute to BB King called 'When BB Sings The Blues' charted at No. 5 in February 2016.  In January 2017 they released their much anticipated second album, 'Broken Man' which is almost entirely original material and also reached No. 1 in the IBBA blues airplay charts in March 2017. This is blues with a very broad brush - from epic prog anthems to stripped back piano ballads.  Catfish's new Broken Man album....is a turning poing for the band showing that not only is Catfish one of the best live bands on the blues circuit at the moment, but that the calibre of their songwriting matches that.  Blues in Britain. Catfish are one of the finest live bands in Britain today.  The quality of musicianship is outstanding and in Matt Long they have one of the greatest young guitarists on the scene today....Blues Matters Magazine August 2017.  www.catfishbluesband.co.uk £12 (£10 Members) See Tickets  BUY NOW!
Thursday 21 February	LEAF HOUND A rare Club appearance for this cult UK rock band! Led by original vocalist, Peter French (also of original and current Atomic Rooster fame), Leaf Hound was a product of the South West London rock scene of the late 60s which spawned the likes of Free and other blues-rock acts, and their 1971 Growers of Mushroom  album has achieved massive cult status and now exchanges hands for over £4,000.  Peter's reputation as a potent lead vocalist also led him to a stint with Carmine Appice's US band, Cactus.  Later in the '70s, he served as frontman for the popular German act, Randy Pie, before recording his acclaimed solo album, Ducks in Flight, which featured Brian Robertson, Micky Moody and Kenney Jones.  This album has recently been re-released by Repertoire. Leaf Hound was re-formed in 2004 and since then the band has re-issued the Growers of Mushroom album with 1 additional track and recorded a new album, Unleashed.  Leaf Hound's Live in Japan CD/DVD and Vinyl was released 4 years ago. Tonight's line-up is Pete French on vocals, Luke Rayner on guitar, Peter Herbert on bass and Dominic French on drums. Pete French's vocals on Leaf Hound's song, Freelance Fiend' was the soundtrack to the Casio G-Shock Watches advert on cinemas worldwide, and his song 'Too Many Rock 'n' Roll Times' is featured in the new Hollywood movie, Adolescence.  Pete's voice was also featured on the them song from TV's Life on Mars. £12 (£10 Members) See Tickets  BUY NOW!
Thursday 7 March	SARI SCHORR & THE ENGINE ROOM A jaw-dropping voice and a live show that erupts like a volcano have catapulted Sari Schorr into the spotlight as one of the hottest new blues-rock singers today.  The native New Yorker is taking the blues world by storm, and with a voice that jolted legendary blues producer Mike Vernon (think Fleetwood Mac, Clapton, and Bowie) out of retiremnt, it's not hard to see why.  It's no wonder that Blues Matters said, "The future of blues is in good hands.  Sari is a gift to all of us from the Blues Gods." Several years of touring the world with Joe Louis Walker and Popa Chubby granted Schorr notoriety and induction to the New York Blues Hall of Fame.  She heads her own electrifying band, The Engine Room, featuring legendary blues guitarist Innes Sibun. £14 (£12 Members) See Tickets  BUY NOW!
