All on vinyl the way it was back then and not a CD in sight.

Celebrating the wonderful, dynamic music from some of the great unsung originators who laid the foundation for what would eventually become known as “rock n roll”: Louis Jordan, Big Joe Turner, Little Richard, Ruth Brown, Cab Calloway, Lucky Millinder, Ike Turner, The Chords and others. It’s that driving swinging be that get’s you moving every time.
If you’ve seen the films Cadillac Records, Honey Dripper, or Ray you will know the story. Real roots music, pounding and pulsating, give in to your musical urge. Plus get there early for free chocolate.

A great night out, lively, welcoming and informal on the second Saturday of each month.
