st harmonicas onlineMissing Friday nights at the Southgate Club listening to the great bands playing at St Harmonica's? Well, we can't do anything about the lockdown, but we can do our best to recreate St Harmonica's in the comfort of your own home. So pour yourself a glass of beer, move the furniture aside to make yourself a dance floor, click on the first of the music videos below and start a text conversation with some of the people you usually meet up with at the club.

Friday 1st May

This week’s St Harmonica’s playlist, entitled The Lady Sings The Blues, was compiled by Mark Hawkins. The theme speaks for itself! Mark adds: “While we are without live music at St Harmonica's the live vibe can be maintained by these nine songs with a blues or blues rock background”.

Click on each video to play, or watch the YouTube playlist.


Kyla Brox Band - At Last (Saltburn Blues Club, 2013)

The Kyla Brox Band starts the list, with a track found on the Live... At Last album, "At Last". Kyla has a recent album (Pain & Glory) and either that or the Live... At Last album are a good place to start if you liked this track.


Rebecca Downes - Night Train

West Midlands-based Rebecca Downes and her band sing "Night Train", a track found on her BeLivw album. Rebecca's latest release is More Sinner Than Saint.


Clare Free Band - The Thrill Is Gone (Blues In The City Festival 2013)

Clare Free covers "The Thrill Is Gone" on this live performance recorded in Chelmsford. Clare often plays live in East Anglia. Clare's latest release is Where Are You Now.


Chantel McGregor - Help Me

Superb guitar on the next track by Chantel McGregor recorded at the Cambridge Rock Festival in 2014. The track can be found on Chantel's album Like No Other.


Bad Girls Groove - Waste of Days

Bad Girls Groove are the best pub band I've ever seen. This video is filmed in the studio and the track "Waste Of Days" appears on their (quite hard to find) EP CD Bad Girls Groove. Watch out for Bad Girls Groove at a pub in North London.


Dani Wilde - High On Your Love

Dani Wilde is also seen in the studio with "High On Your Love". This track is found on her album Live at Brighton Road.


Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion - People (L'Esprit, Rotterdam, November 2018)

Zoe Schwarz Blue Commotion play live in Rotterdam with the song "People" from their album This Is The Life I Choose.


Chantel McGregor - Sloe Gin

"Sloe Gin" is Chantel McGregor's second song in the list, seen this time at the Leeds Irish Club.


Never The Bride - The Living Tree

Finally, in a highly professional live performance video, Never The Bride perform probably their best known song "The Living Tree". This song can be found live on their Live At ULU album and as a studio version on Never The Bride's Surprise album. The latest album from Never The Bride is For Better, For Worse. They are a very impressive live act, see them when you next can.
