By popular demand, our November show features the return of the amazing country blues duo Rag Mama Rag! Ashley and Deborah Dow will treat us to a set of original and classic blues, ragtime and roots music played on a slew of different guitars, washboard, percussion and harmonicas! With 9 CDs under their belt and over thirty years on the road, this couple are the real deal. Don't miss a great evening!

Spikedrivers are old friends of the Club and one of the most original, innovative and exciting bands around. With their combination of gutsy slide guitar, rock-solid bass, infectious grooves and highly distinctive vocals, they create a sound that is uniquely their own. They will take you on a journey from southern juke-joints and lazy front porches to the huge open spaces of dust bowls and railroad tracks disappearing into the distance..... There's a bittersweet tinge to this show, as the band has announced that they are hanging up their hats at the end of this year, and this will be their ante-penultimate performance. Don't miss it! As it's our Christmas special there may also be the odd mince pie!

Erin Harpe has been playing country blues since she was a little girl, getting her chops from her dad, roots/blues musician Neil Harpe. In a career spanning more than twenty years she has won multiple awards and plays in two bands, Erin Harpe & the Delta Swingers and the electro-rock Lovewhip, but at the club she will play in her acoustic duo format with husband Jim Countryman. A virtuoso finger-picking guitarist, she delivers a set of old-style acoustic blues harking back to the bars and juke joints of the southern States.
