PaulKing Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Anyone in London area fancy a night of blues at the home of British Blues and Rock? From this very stage came Alexis Korner, Rolling Stones, Cream, Yardbirds, Mayall .... without it there'd be nothing. Now my turn to slap the upright on the same stage (move over Jack Bruce) at final night of three day blues fest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 As luck would have it, I've seen you at the George IV and hope to do so again. Given that I'm on holiday that week ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PTB Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Thanks for depping for me Paul! Tim thinks very highly of you. Hope the festival goes well. I'm on holiday so won't be able to attend either. I'm sure it'll be fun! Paul Edited June 30, 2011 by PTB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbayne Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Where is this club exactly? The only things opposite Ealing Bdwy station is haven green common and a taxi rank I may pop along as its only a bus ride for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulKing Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 You'd never know it was there ... down a little staircase immediately opposite the station, next to an estate agent's or something. There's been a few great BBC documentaries about the place - youtube has a few clips. Most of the time its a dodgy dance club these days, but it's been there since the 60s, peddling some kind of trashy divey nightlife. We're taking live music back there for the first time in ... ooh ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
