PAPA LEGBA

First Time at BJ’s for this young Blues Rock Power Trio from Merseyside who have built up a tremendous reputation for themselves in such a short space of time. They draw heavily from the past masters namely Skip James, Howling Wolf and Vintage Blues Rock outfits from the 60’s & 70’s such as Cream & Hendrix. Their set is interspersed with some contemporary selections and their own material which bodes well for a great night of entertainment courtesy of Papa Legba !

Papa Legba line up as follows:-

• Alan Kitwana Crawford – Lead Guitar/Vocals
• Scott Crawford – Bass guitar/Backing Vocals
• Graham Brighouse – Drums

Lancaster based 5 piece Rockin’ Blues Outfit The Section are one of the hardest working bands in the Northwest and have ‘trod the boards’ for over 25 years, a great testament to their popularity and staying power !

The addition of Keyboards has expanded The Section’s sound and musical repertoire….another great night awaits us.

The Boozie Woozie Band

And now for something completely different!

The Boozie Woozies are a ‘splinter band’ from The Winchesters fronted by the irrepressible Andy Stones on Keyboards. The name of this band really gives you more than just a clue, yes it’s fun & musical frolics all the way. The big question is what really is holding the Yellin’ Yettis “15 Quid Drum Kit” together?

Five Star Entertainment!

The Boozie Woozies line up as follows:-

PAUL KISTER – Lead guitar/Vocals

HORACE DOGSON – Bass Guitar/Vocals

ANDY STONES – Keyboards/Lead Vocals

YELLIN’ YETTI – “15 Quid Drum Kit”
