Note: This is not at our usual venue
When visiting Central Studios to discuss Rexfest, they mentioned they had booked ABB. Given we don’t have a gig in June, let’s head down there to support both the venue & a band that have played for us many times over the years.
Basingstoke Blues Club members can receive a discount on tickets (£10* in advance) by using the code BBC3ABB when booking tickets.
More about ABB
“I would put this lot up against any of the bands currently flying the flag for British blues” - Guitarist Magazine
Going strong since 1988, with 4 of the original 5 members, are ABB - originally known as The Average Blues Band. The band has continued to plough their own furrow in the blues world, with a set of original material, supported by lesser-known blues classics. ABB can deliver “foot-to-the-floor” pub blues band material if you want it, or are equally at home in a concert atmosphere. Their music is rooted in the blues, but not constrained by it!
Here’s a video from them from a little while ago - they’ve been going a long time:
