Chris Corcoran Trio with Elsie Franklin
2026-10-01 19:00 - 23:00
Chris Corcoran Trio with Elsie Franklin

Chris Corcoran is widely regarded as one of the UK’s top blues guitarists, with a distinctive style that blends swing, jump blues and vintage tones with jaw-dropping technique. A regular on the UK blues circuit, Chris has picked up multiple awards and nominations over the years, and if you’ve ever seen him live, you’ll know why. Backed by his superb rhythm section, the trio delivers powerful, all-instrumental sets that are full of groove, energy, and serious class.
In addition, Chris will be joined by Elsie Franklin as a special guest. Elsie is a gifted guitarist and singer with a deep love for early country blues – think fingerstyle, bottleneck slide, and a voice full of heart. She’s been making waves on the blues scene with her authentic, soulful performances that pay tribute to the likes of Memphis Minnie and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, while bringing something entirely her own.
Expect top-drawer musicianship, irresistible rhythms, and a night that’s full of character, soul and proper blues spirit.

“Elsie Franklin is the most natural blues singer I’ve heard in years, her guitar playing is pretty damn good too, uncluttered and tasteful, she really understands the genre – she’s the whole package” – Dave Kelly

Gary Fletcher Blues Band
2026-10-15 19:00 - 23:00
The Gary Fletcher Blues Band
We are very pleased to have them back after such a great evening last year.
The band are:
Gary – acoustic and slide guitars, banjo and ukelele
Tom Leary – (Lindisfarne, Feast of Fiddles, etc) violin
Alan Glen – (Yardbirds, Nine Below Zero etc) harmonica
Andy Billups – (The Hamsters) bass
Nick Ritchie – (Canto, Mud) guitars
Sam Kelly – (Tom Robinson, Circulus) drums
Here Gary plays his own songs on acoustic guitar. They are not a blues band playing blues by aging white Brits, instead you have a collection of strong songs performed with taste, intelligence and dignity with the acoustic rather than the electric guitar to the fore. There’s a nice sense of space and atmosphere throughout.
