Tribute To the Birth of British Blues

A concert in Twickenham that pays tribute to the early British rhythm and blues scene, performed by an all-star group of blues musicians and vocalists from the UK at the Eel Pie Club.

This tribute concert focuses on the heritage of British rhythm and blues, the scene that began at The Ealing Club and continued at the Eel Pie Island Jazz Club and The Crawdaddy Club. The Eel Pie Club presents it as one of its regular gigs devoted to preserving that history.

The All-Stars line-up includes Alan Glen, a British blues musician who has played with Yardbirds and Nine Below Zero, alongside Laurie Garman, Tim Hain, Bob Hadrell, Chris Belshaw and Peter Miles. Each has credits with other bands, among them The Incredible Blues Puppies and Bernie Marsden. The group is joined by further blues musicians and vocalists from the UK.

The Eel Pie Club, at The Patch in Twickenham, mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The night will appeal to those interested in the British blues movement of the 1960s and the musicians who carried its sound forward.
