This month’s Club Night brings a wild mix of blues flavours. Jimmy Taylor – legendary guitarist from Hello Sailor opens with a stripped-back, soulful set that bends Delta and Chicago traditions into something uniquely his own. The mood ramps up when Nick Jackman and Ari Freeman light up the stage as The Blues Grenade, firing off gritty riffs and high-voltage energy. Then Wolfbelly – Seb Warren, Blade Bell, and Dru Norris hit the stage, rolling out a raw grooves that will rumble straight through your bones. One night, three acts, and a whole lot of blues.

The Blues Grenade
For over 15 years, the Blues Grenade has been the vehicle for Stomping Nick Jackman to play raw and primitive punk blues, indulging his love of dirty guitar and wild harmonica. Stomping Nick decided to expand the Blues Grenade to a duo, so he outsourced the drumming to his pal and longtime partner in crime, Ari Freeman, the Blues Professor.
The result is a Blues Grenade packing more explosive power - a dirty blues bomb that will blow your mind and shake the parts you know need shaking. Come witness the power.
Wolfbelly
With a lick, a crunch, and a whole lot of swagger, Wolfbelly delivers blues rock with a gritty, vintage feel. Seb Warren on guitar and vocals heads this powerhouse trio, fully stacked with the thunderous drumming of Dru Norriss and the deep, rolling bass of Blade Bell. Together, they carve out a groove so deep, rich, and irresistible you won’t want to climb out.
