Tim Hughes, is presenting his show to raise money for Stroud Valleys Project. Join Tim for a journey that ranges from the emergence of the blues from the US Deep South, through Chicago and blues in Britain in the 60s, right up to the to the modern day. Using vivid presentation and historical sound recordings Tim will consider how blues emerged out of slavery and then evolved through artists such as Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Blind Blake, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Elmore James and BB King, and was then taken up by the rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s. Tim uses traditional bottleneck and finger-picking guitar styles to perform numbers such as ‘Dust My Broom’, ‘Trouble in Mind’, ‘Black Rat Swing’, ‘Red Rooster’, ‘Custard Pie’ and ‘Key to the Highway’. For this show Tim will be joined by Grahame Newman on harmonica. Previously performed to sell out audiences at Sherston, Calne and Nailsworth Festivals. Sunday 2nd November at 7pm. £10, Licensed bar.
