TUES 29 MARCH @ 9 - PETE GAGE BAND

A 4-piece blues-powerhouse of a band playing a blend of tough Chicago flavoured blues, raw-edged soulful ballads, and rocking boogie. It's an energy packed set with Will Lunn's loose and free style on drums; Richie Blake's solid and inventive individual bass-style; Paul Hartshorn's expressive and searing guitar, a perfect compliment to his old side-kick, Pete Gage, who pounds the piano, and wails the blues. This is powerful stuff, and not to be missed!
