Thursday 13 June 2019

Celebrating 40 years together, Paul Jones, Dave Kelly, Tom McGuinness, Rob Townsend and Gary Fletcher return to the New Vic stage with their stunning mixture of original compositions and blues classics.

About 20 albums and thousands of gigs later, they’ve earned a reputation around the world as one of the finest exponents of the blues tradition in all its forms. With this line-up, it’s hardly surprising!
