St Harmonica's Blues Club

This Friday St Harmonica’s Blues Club enjoys the company of Doc K’s Blues Band.

Originally founded in Muswell Hill in 1964 by bass player Ashley Hutchings (Richard Thompson was a regular dep guitarist back then), Doc K have undergone more changes in personnel than Trigger's broom has had new heads and handles. But some things don’t change and this band still plays some of the finest Chicago Blues in London.

‘Mad Dog’ Dave Barnes, a constant figure in the band for more than forty years, provides magnificent vocals along with his harmonica and slide guitar skills for a sublime set of classic blues ,while newest member Doctor Ika on lead guitar and vocals has finally given the band a genuine M.D. in the lineup. The rhythm section of Mick Parker on drum kit and Dave Thomas on bass provides a rock solid foundation for the others to strut their stuff. Always popular and always getting asked to return wherever they play, if you are serious about your blues, you really should not miss Doc K’s Blues Band this Friday.

And we are really looking forward to this week's support act which comes highly recommended in the form of acoustic blues duo ELRY Blues. Gary Choules is the bass player with the Feelgood Band and he brings his double bass to team up with Noel Gander to start the evening off at 8.30pm with a wonderful set followed by two sets from Doc K beginning at around 9.00pm.
