Event information

“An eclectic mix of blues, spiritual, country and a sprinkling of ragtime – whatever is in the cupboard goes in the pot!”
Chris Berry and Brian Langsdon have been playing together, as two members of the very fine blues, gospel and ragtime band ‘Porch Swing Blues’, since 2018. Gumbo has developed from their great enjoyment of playing, recording and performing together, and sits very comfortably alongside their other creative ventures. Chris brings many years of experience, having played his finger-picking style of blues and roots as far afield as New Orleans, Texas and California. His authentic good-time music, drawing on influences from John Renbourne to Bonnie Raitt, Louis Armstrong to B.B.King, perfectly suits his fine bluesman's voice. A very talented musician, Brian’s great skill, whether playing bass, 6-string guitar, or adding vocal harmony, is his sympathetic understanding of performance. He has had the privilege of working with some outstanding musicians, and equally enjoys both playing and engineering great music, whether live or in the studio. Gumbo has an eclectic repertoire of originals and covers guaranteed to both set toes a-tapping and, occasionally, even tug on the odd heartstring.

Expect a small friendly, venue seated at tables , on one level with a bar. It's accessible and there is always cake. It finishes around 9.30. The first hour is livestreamed (donations please) and there is an intimate second half for the people in the room.
If you can , pay £12 please, otherwise pay £6 no questions asked. If you are having a good week you can pay £18 which helps subsidise the £6 tickets. Thank you.
