I'll be performing this evening as part of an evening of Old Blues (no electric guitars here) at the Trafalgar pub, Putney Common. £10 to get in - if you like anecdotes about old blues stars and kitchen metaphors for sex, this could be for you. It's also a lovely pub, in the middle of Putney Common - feels like being in the countryside. Doors at 8pm. If you do want to come, suggest calling to book table space - numbers are limited.

Kevin Stenson (guitar and harmonica) has his musical roots in the country and city blues and jazz of the 1930's, old A ppalachian mountain songs and dust bowl ballads. A long his musical path he met, played with and learnt from masters like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, and the late J o A nn Kelly.
This is the only opportunity to hear Vicky Hume sing blues – she is one of the few singers whose vocal pitch and flawless delivery bring authentic emotional intensity to the lyrics of classic blues standards.
