U.K. Blues

[burlew]

Guys, I'm heading to London in September.

I have found on the net a place called "Round Midnight" in Angel.

Can my U.K brothers guide me?

Have you heard of it?

Is it any good?

Are there any must see Blues venues that you can recommend?

thanks

Hi Burlew

I haven't been to Round Midnight, so I can't confirm what it's like. One of the best know blues venues is the Blues Kitchen in Camden - http://theblueskitchen.com/camden/. If you follow the link you'll see Alvin Youngblood Hart played there. Ronnie Scott's (a jazz club) also has decent blues artists on a regular basis.

You may have already found this site, but it may be of help too -  http://www.bluesinlondon.com/gigs.html. Send me a PM with your dates and I'll look at gig listings for that period and see who's playing in the capital while you're here.

This place is pretty cool. Only been the once but they have jam sessions free of charge Sat afteernoon. Nice way to spend a few hours.

cheers

Al.

Chris, Al, thanks for your contributions.

I'm now looking for accommodation around Camden. I plan to take my travel guitar and see if I can sit in on Sunday night.
