The Blues Summit Bromley returns to Bromley Blues Club on Sunday 6th December 2026 — and five of British blues’ most celebrated names are coming together for one night only. Following the sold-out success of last year’s gathering, this time the lineup pushes the bar even higher. Dave Kelly. Alan Glen. Mississippi MacDonald. Lucy Piper. Brent Cundall. One stage. One night. No repeats. Don’t wait — last year sold out, and this lineup will do the same.
This isn’t a concert in the conventional sense. The Blues Summit is a one-off collaborative event in the tradition of the great American blues sessions of the 1950s and 60s — where the finest players of a generation stepped into a room together, no set lists, no ego, just music. Five players with serious combined career miles, united on a single stage at one of South London’s most intimate and characterful venues.
Last year’s Summit sold out. This year, with a lineup that would turn heads anywhere on the planet, it will happen again. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
Widely regarded as one of the finest blues harmonica players on the planet, Alan Glen’s track record is genuinely extraordinary. A veteran of both The Yardbirds and Nine Below Zero — two of the most storied bands in British blues history — his recording credits include sessions alongside Jeff Beck and Slash, two of the most celebrated guitarists rock music has ever produced.
Glen’s harmonica playing isn’t a supporting element. At the Blues Summit, it is a centrepiece. Pure tone, deep phrasing, and a command of the instrument that has to be heard live to be fully understood.

The man at the heart of Bromley Blues Club, and the artist who makes this Summit possible. Mississippi MacDonald is a four-time UK Blues Award winner whose stinging guitar style and Memphis-rooted sound have earned him international acclaim including being a member of the Take Me To The River All-Stars
His reputation for electrifying live performances has been built over years of touring, recording, and championing the blues tradition with both technical mastery and genuine soul. On home turf at Bromley Blues Club, in front of his own crowd, expect something very special.
Daughter of blues legend Julian Piper and a drummer who spent her formative years absorbing the sounds of Mississippi’s juke joint circuit, Lucy Piper brings something to the Summit that no amount of experience alone can replicate: real blues heritage.
Her playing is steeped in the traditions of the Deep South — driving, soulful, and deeply in the pocket. When the Summit’s collective powers combine, it is Lucy who holds the centre. This is what authentic blues drumming sounds and feels like.
Nashville-born bass specialist Brent Cundall provides the rock-solid foundation that allows this remarkable lineup to breathe, stretch, and soar. In any great blues band, the low-end is the conversation — and Brent is fluent in every dialect.
His authentic American feel and rhythmic authority bring exactly the musical credibility this supergroup demands. The Blues Summit works because every element is in place. Brent Cundall is why the rhythm section is in place.
The Blues Summit Bromley isn’t just a gig. It’s an event in the truest sense — five world-class musicians sharing a stage, feeding off each other, playing the music they were born to play. The combination of Dave Kelly’s deep blues roots, Alan Glen’s world-class harmonica, Mississippi MacDonald’s soulful guitar authority, Lucy Piper’s authentic Mississippi rhythm, and Brent Cundall’s Nashville-honed low-end creates something you simply will not hear anywhere else in the UK this year.
