    6.30-7.30pm: The Random Blues Company POWER TRIO!!!

    This is an exciting new reworking of a long established band on the local music scene. Founder members Nick Ward (Guitar/lead vocals) and Kev Atkins (Bass/backing vocals/heckling) are now joined by our very own Benhall Club Chairman Chris Bayfield who has jumped in on the drums (and backing vocals). Over the last few months they have been working on a fantastic festival set of high energy blues-rock classics which they will be bringing to us here! Expect covers from the likes of Gary Moore, Robert Cray, Humble Pie, Rory Gallagher, Sonny Boy Williamson, B.B. King, Santana, cream and loads more. We think you're going to love these guys - we know we are :)
