Fri, 13 November 2009  No U.S. blues band has made a sustained tour of London in-- well, no one seems to be able to remember. But Kilborn Alley Blues Band are doing it, starting next week--Tuesday 17 November, kicking off at Effra Hall in Brixton. The idea is to infest the place, to soak in all that guitar blues that comes from Britain. We are real proud of the pubs we have been able to put together for this tour. The venues include Effra Hall which is an amazing jazz and reggae venue in the little West Indies that is Brixton, Moors Bar is a gem in Crouch End with one of the coolest owners in all of tavern-dom the world over, The Globe has an incredible blues jam scene in Hackney lead by John Parry and his band, The Oval features Graeme's dj work plus great blues bands, Weavers Arms is a veritable monument in rock history, North Pole is making a statement as an r&b venue, -- each place is special in its way, and we are looking for big turnouts on what is supposed to be a resurgent London blues scene. We hear the new Charlotte Street Blues may be the finest facility dedicated to blues on planet earth. The Kilborn Alley Blues Band does gritty Chicago blues and southern fried soul for all the generations of blues lovers. This music speaks for itself; better still, it convinces you to listen. And after just winning the Sean Costello Rising Star In The Blues Award at the Blues Blast Magazine's annual music awards, they will be a band not to be missed. So if your a fan of the blues and want to hear a great Chicago band get along to one of these gigs.
