DEL BROMHAM BAND LIVE AT BROMLEY BLUES CLUB

Bromley Blues Club is thrilled to welcome The Del Bromham Band to the stage of Bromley Little Theatre!

Prepare for an unforgettable night as this legendary band delivers their electrifying blend of blues and rock.

Del Bromham says, right from as far as he can remember has always had music in his life. He was just 11 years old when his brother gave him his firstguitar which someone had dumped in his dustbin. By the time he was 12 he was forming his first band at school in Shepherds Bush West London and bythe time he was 14 years old he was playing in his brothers group ‘TheTraders,’ playing the pubs and working men’s clubs. At 15 years of age he wanted to form his own group called ‘The Stray’.

By 1970 at 18 years of age he had signed his first record deal with Transatlantic Records and released the first self-titled album ‘STRAY’.

Stray went on to record around 14 studio and live albums and has toured constantly over the years. There have been other artistes who have covered songs by Del Bromham and STRAY, notably Iron Maiden who recorded and released STRAY’s, arguably best known song,‘All in your Mind’ as the flip side to the 1970 no.1 single ‘Holy Smoke’.

Although with varying line ups over the years, Del still tours as STRAY as well as having his own solo career. He has recorded 4 solo albums.

The last critically acclaimed ‘White Feather’ achieved the best reviews of his career todate.

Del’s autobiography titled ‘Rock and Roll Survivor’ and the new STRAY album titled ‘ABOUT TIME’ was released worldwide in September 2023.

Del will be touring with his trio featuring Karl Randall on drums and Colin‘Curvy’ Kempster on bass guitar. Catch him while you can.

THE INTERNATIONAL BLUES ALL-STARS

Known for his powerful, soulful vocals and masterful harmonica playing, Curtis Salgado is a true giant of the blues world. DownBeat Magazine calls his songwriting skills “an impressive gift,” and Billboard hails his music as “inspired and powerful.” His storied career is the stuff of legend; he famously inspired John Belushi’s “Blues Brothers” character and has been hailed by critics as “one of the most soulful, honest singers ever.”

For this special UK show, he will be joined by the incredible Giles Robson Band, a perfect match with their high-energy, harmonica-driven sound. But that’s not all—we’re also thrilled to welcome very special guests, two of the UK’s finest blues talents: the brilliant guitarist Mississippi MacDonald and the superb vocalist Robbin Kaspalis.

Book your tickets now!

Curtis Salgado

“The Man Who Taught the Blues Brothers to Sing” A true giant of the genre, Curtis Salgado’s career is the stuff of legend. An award-winning vocalist and harmonica master, he famously mentored John Belushi during the filming of Animal House, directly inspiring the creation of The Blues Brothers characters. But his legacy goes far beyond Hollywood; Salgado is a powerhouse performer in his own right. He is a multiple Blues Music Award winner, having taken home the most coveted titles in the industry, including B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, Soul Blues Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year. Billboard magazine hails his music as “inspired and powerful,” while NPR calls him “an icon with a huge voice.” Do not miss the chance to see this living piece of music history on a UK stage.

The Giles Robson Band

“The UK’s International Harmonica Virtuoso” Giles Robson is a trailblazer in the blues world. He is the first and only UK or European artist to appear on Chicago’s legendary Alligator Records, a label that described him as “a blues giant.” His incredible talent on the harp led him to become one of only three British artists—alongside Eric Clapton and Peter Green—to win a prestigious Blues Music Award in Memphis (the Grammys of the Blues). Known for his high-energy, sweat-soaked performances, Robson consistently tops critics’ polls in Mojo, Living Blues, and DownBeat. If you want to witness a master at the height of his powers, this is the set to watch.

Special Guest: Mississippi MacDonald

“The Future of British Soul-Blues” Joining the bill is one of the UK’s finest contemporary talents, Mississippi MacDonald. A three-time UK Blues Awards winner (including Acoustic Blues Artist of the Year), MacDonald has been earning rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. Guitarist Magazine praises his playing as “legitimate blues,” while Blues Blast Magazine (USA) calls him “one of the most soulful vocalists in Europe.” With a sound that blends the deep roots of Memphis soul with modern blues grit, MacDonald is widely tipped as the next big thing in the British blues explosion.

Special Guest: Robbin Kapsalis

“The Soul Shaker” Completing this stellar lineup is the dynamic vocalist Robbin Kapsalis. A Chicago native with a voice steeped in the rich musical heritage of the South Side, Kapsalis is a force of nature. Fronting Vintage #18, she earned a Blues Blast Music Award nomination for New Artist Debut Album and has been praised by Living Blues for her “commanding voice.” Known as the “Soul Shaker,” her stage presence is electric, channeling the raw power of Koko Taylor with the sultry delivery of a classic jazz diva. She is the perfect addition to an evening of world-class music.

FURTHER DETAILS ON THE HISTORY OF CURTIS SALGADO

Whatever songs Curtis Salgado brings to the table are going to have his personal soul stamp on them. It’s the singer’s magic bullet, the key element that stirs listeners and sets Salgado apart as one of the most riveting performers on stage today.

Born in 1954, Salgado grew up in Eugene, Oregon with music all around him. His parents’ vast music collection included everything from Fats Waller to Ray Charles, and his older brother and sister turned him on to the soul and blues of Wilson Pickett and Muddy Waters at an early age. He attended a Count Basie performance when he was 13 and decided then and there that music was his calling. After getting his hands on a harmonica, Curtis began devouring the blues of Little Walter and Paul Butterfield, and taught himself to play.

By his early 20s he was already making a name for himself in Eugene’s bar scene, first as the vocalist/harmonica player of The Nighthawks, and later as co-leader of The Robert Cray Band. Salgado quickly developed into a player and singer of remarkable depth, with vocal and musical influences including Otis Redding, O.V. Wright, Muddy Waters, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson I and II, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Howlin’ Wolf.

In 1977, comedian/actor John Belushi was in Eugene filming Animal House. During downtime from production, Belushi caught a typically ferocious Salgado performance and introduced himself during a break. Once Salgado started sharing some of his blues knowledge, a fast friendship grew. Salgado spent hours playing old records for Belushi, teaching him about blues and R&B. Belushi soaked up the music like a sponge and used his new awareness to portray “Joliet” Jake Blues in The Blues Brothers, first as a skit on Saturday Night Live, then a best-selling record album (which was dedicated to Curtis) and finally as a major motion picture (Cab Calloway’s character in the film was named Curtis as an homage).

Once Salgado joined forces with his friend Robert Cray and began playing together as The Robert Cray Band, he found himself sharing stages with many of his heroes, including Muddy Waters, Bobby Bland, Albert Collins and Bonnie Raitt. After Salgado and Cray parted ways in 1982, Curtis went on to front Roomful Of Blues, singing and touring with them from 1984 through 1986. Back home in Oregon, he formed a new band, Curtis Salgado & The Stilettos, and was once again tearing it up on the club scene. He honed his band to a razor’s edge before releasing his debut in 1991 on the JRS label. After recordings for Rhythm Safari and Lucky Records, Salgado signed withShanachie Records in 1999, releasing four critically acclaimed albums. Salgado’s Alligator Records debut, Soul Shot, came out in 2012 to widespread critical acclaim. Blues Revue said Salgado’s music is “triumphant, joyful, blues-soaked R&B” and declared him to be “one of the most soulful, honest singers ever.” He followed up with The Beautiful Lowdown in 2016 and Rough Cut, the potent, stripped-down acoustic album (with guitarist Alan Hager) in 2018. The albums collectively earned Salgado multiple Blues Music Awards—for B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year, Soul Blues Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Soul Blues Male Artist Of The Year.

CAITLIN KRISKO & THE BROADCAST LIVE AT BROMLEY BLUES CLUB

Recommended to fans of:Tedeschi Trucks Band, Bonnie Raitt, Beth Hart, Elles Bailey, & Marcus KingCaitlin Krisko & The Broadcast return to the UK for the third time, bringing their unmistakable roots rock & roll sound from the mountains of North Carolina back across the Atlantic to celebrate the release of their most personal album yet, Heirloom. The band has earned a devoted international following for their electrifying live shows, razor-sharp songwriting, and the magnetic force of Caitlin Krisko’s powerhouse voice—praised by Rolling Stone as “arguably one of the best kept vocal secrets of the Southeast”.Their new single “Heart of Gold” is already earning national airplay on Planet Rock, and it’s not hard to hear why. With lyrics that dig deep and a performance that hits even deeper, it’s a powerful glimpse into the emotional terrain of Heirloom. As Blues Matters put it: “With Heirloom on the horizon, ‘Heart Of Gold’ marks the beginning of what promises to be a defining era for Caitlin Krisko & The Broadcast.”Written in the wake of profound loss from the unexpected passing of Krisko’s mother and guitarist Aaron Austin’s stepfather in 2023, Heirloom explores what we inherit, and what we leave behind. It’s a record about lineage, letting go, and choosing what truly matters. Each track was shaped not just by grief, but by years of resilience, miles on the road, and a deep commitment to creating something real together. Their last run through the UK left audiences stunned, with Bristol 24/7 declaring it “a night that left no one disappointed,” and calling Krisko’s voice “one of the best in the business—soulful yet raw with that raspy ragged edge… mesmerizing.” Now, with Heirloom set to release and momentum swelling on both sides of the Atlantic, the band returns with sharpened focus and undeniable urgency.Whether you’ve been following since day one or are just hearing their name for the first time, don’t miss your chance to be in the room on their upcoming album release tour.

In what silenced many musicians during the pandemic, Venable now in her 20’s, released another Blues Billboard charting album, Heart of Fire (2021), which challenged her to write not only about love but the unguarded honesty of feeling pain.”On this album,I really wanted to create a tone of overcoming your struggles and persevering through them,” she explains.

BLACK MARKET III (BORDER BLUES • AMERICAN ROOTS • ROCK • SOUL)
Formed in the Fall of 2011 by Scottie ‘Mad Dog’ Blinn, former front man for the iconic, multi-award winning San Diego band The Mississippi Mudsharks.
BMIII crosses over, using the Blues as the root of the sound.
In addition to their original music, BMIII features more obscure covers from Tom Waits, Tito & Tarantula, Leadbelly, Dead Weather, Social Distortion, Led Zeppelin and many more.
No pigeon holing this band–Blues and American Roots firmly planted, yet not like anything you’ve heard or seen before.
While deeply rooted in traditional blues, this powerhouse trio pushes boundaries with their trademarked ‘Grease Punk’sound – a unique fusion that’s as raw as it is refined.

Vinyl Paradise is a Maltese blues/blues-rock trio made up of Ben Bailey (guitar/vocals), Patrick Camilleri (drums) and Antoine Tonna (bass). Their collective love for the blues and knowledge of its conventions and techniques has resulted in the band delivering their own masterful take on the genre to audiences right across Malta.
The three have had years of musical focus to develop their unique style, first meeting in the band The Creepers – another blues band focused on replicating the sound of ‘vintage American blues’ – and later forming the trio Vinyl Paradise in January 2017.
Their style mixes together blues, funk, rock n’ roll, and soul, with arrangements featuring solid grooves on the bass and drums which lay the foundation for deft guitar-work and 60s-soul-inspired vocals.These elements are immediately recognisable in their original work, as well as any covers in their set, which are always reworked to satisfy these criteria.
Vinyl Paradise takes inspiration from the likes of the “3 Kings”, Cream, Gary Clark Jr, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, amongst others.

The Outlaw Orchestra

​

Three accomplished musicians from the south coast of the UK, The Outlaw Orchestra exude the Saturday-night hell-raising escapism of the weekend. Dubbed “Heavy Grass” by one DJ due to their combination of hard rock and a country twang, they’ve also been called “The love child of Motorhead and Johnny Cash.”

The Outlaws are at home whether at a bike festival, an arts center, a steamy rock bar, or a country stage, and can adjust the volume accordingly. With slide guitar, pedal steel guitar, banjo, gravel vocals, and solid thumping drums, they deliver catchy, hard-rocking original songs about everyday life. The music is laced with deep-south spirits and delivered with a British rock-and-roll sense of humor.

They drew the biggest crowd ever at Ramblin’ Man’s Rising stage and pulled the largest outdoor crowd at Custom Rock n’ Blues Bike festival since Motorhead. They have been invited countless times to grace the Sheffield O2 stage, Sheffield Bowl, and Planet Rock stages, and have supported Skid Row, The Dead Daisies, The Darkness, Brothers Osbourne, Phil Campbell of Motorhead on tour, Reef, The Kentucky Headhunters, and many more.

Their constant hard work on the road has paid off with weekly air time on Planet Rock Radio, BBC Introducing, countless online radio stations, and features in Hard Rock Hell magazine, Metal Planet, Emerging Rock bands, and Powerplay Magazine.

While their records demonstrate musical ability and clever songwriting, it’s live that they truly thrive, putting on a show wherever they play. They pull the audience in and ensure a wild night for everyone, best demonstrated by pulling the largest queue to a merchandise stand ever at Planet Rock’s Winters End festival and selling out all merchandise within an hour.

The Outlaw Orchestra will leave you with a sore foot from stomping, a sore face from grinning, and some devilish outlaw in your blood!

Expect to be taken back to a different era, where proper Rock ‘n’ Roll was performed live & enthusiastically by musicians who live & breathe the genre. This isn’t a cheesy cliché 1950s tribute show – this is a Dylan Kirk & The Killers show with a combination of originals & covers – one of the most unique and impressive live bands you’ll have the chance to see, a show reminiscent of ivory-pounding giants from a different era

This is set to be an incredible memorable gig for Dylan, held in a remarkable venue in his hometown surrounded by friends & family. Join us in Faversham on Saturday 4th October as Dylan Kirk & The Killers deliver 2 full sets of astounding piano-driven Rock N Roll.

Mississippi MacDonald

“MISSISSIPPI” MACDONALD
– Rising British Soul/Blues Artist Makes His Mark –
Oliver “Mississippi” MacDonald – a singer, guitarist and songwriter from London, England – speaks quietly but makes music with real gravitas. Olly (as friends call him) is a rising star, having been honoured with a session by Cerys Matthews on her Radio 2 Blues show and championed by Mojo magazine. Both his fellow musicians and many music industry pundits predict big things for MacDonald.
His 2023 album Heavy State Loving Blues demonstrated how McDonald’s gravitas has developed, matching his remarkable guitar playing with soulful vocals and strong original songs: here is a rising talent making his mark on the soul/blues scene.
“I first got interested in guitar when I was a youngster at school and grunge and Britpop were what everyone was listening to,” recalls MacDonald, “but I was more interested in what I heard in my parents’ record collection – the likes of B.B. King and Al Green, classic American blues and soul artists. I never dreamed of being in Nirvana or Oasis like a lot of my school mates, instead I wanted to go to Chicago and see the clubs where Muddy Waters used to play!”
This led to Olly being nicknamed “Mississippi” by pals due to his passion for music from the US South. Interestingly, MacDonald says he never felt any great connection to the British blues scene of the 1960s. “I like records I’ve heard by the Stones and Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall,” he notes, “but when I was learning guitar those artists were rock superstars and I was attracted to much more downhome sounds. I vividly recall going into the local Virgin record shop with the money I’d saved and buying an Albert Collins LP – and that blew my mind!”
MacDonald learnt guitar from studying the likes of the Kings – B.B., Albert, Freddie – and the aforementioned Collins. He also listened intently to the likes of ZZ Hill and O.V. Wright, Southern soul singers whose voices possessed a blues inflection.
“They express themselves with real power yet remain eloquent and soulful,” says MacDonald. “No histrionics or showing off – the great soul and blues vocalists sing in a way that conveys the song as if a friend was telling you of their trials and tribulations. Same for my favourite guitarists – I value economy and expression, not guitar histrionics. ”
MacDonald, happy to be a tortoise not a hare, worked away at his craft, playing locally and privately pressing recordings, a suburban bluesman with a family to support. Then, post-lockdown, he raised his game, signed to Another Planet Music and started getting booked beyond the local pub/club circuit he’d cut his teeth on. His APM debut album Do Right, Say Right was released in late-2021 and won accolades across the UK, Europe and the US. Guesting on US harp player/vocalist Steve Bailey’s Crazy About You album (a tribute to the late Sonny Boy Williamson II) demonstrated that Olly could hold his own with the Americans. Then came Heavy State Loving Blues – here MacDonald demanded and grabbed attention: he is the most exciting British electric guitarist in years as well as a singer and songwriter of considerable note. And never less than soulful.
“I’ve been out there grafting for several years,” notes MacDonald, “and it’s like I’ve finished my apprenticeship and am ready to play alongside my heroes. Veteran Memphis soul singer Vaneese Thomas – Rufus Thomas’ youngest daughter – guested on Heavy State and it was an honour to sing alongside her, we really connected. This led to me being invited to play at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis and record a track with Freddie King’s brother Benny Turner. I also got to meet Boo Mitchell.”
Boo Mitchell is the son and heir of the late Willie Mitchell, the Memphis maestro who defined the sound of 70s Southern soul by producing hits on Al Green, Otis Clay, Ann Peebles, O.V. Wright and others at Royal Sound Studios. Olly and Boo hit it off and an arrangement was made for MacDonald to return and record at Royal Sound Studios with the Hi Rhythm Section as his backing band – the same band who backed Al, Otis, Ann and O.V. Olly returned to Memphis and laid down the tunes for his forthcoming 2024 album Mississippi MacDonald with Hi Rhythm. “A life changing experience,” says MacDonald of the Royal sessions.
Oliver “Mississippi” MacDonald’s fluid fingers, a singular voice and songwriting talent mark him as the new voice of British soul-blues – note his name.

JACK J HUTCHINSON LIVE IN SITTINGBOURNE
Get ready for a night of music whiplash.
Dave Ferra kicks things off with stripped-back blues storytelling.
Jack J Hutchinson follows with full throttle rock fury.
Rock meets roots – don’t miss it !
Who is Jack J Hutchinson? A blues troubadour? A Southern rockin’ songsmith? A guitar-shredding warrior? The fedora-wearing rocker wears all of these with so much buried within.Hutchinson has walked long, hard miles to this point, and the road strewn with obstacles, frustration and difficulties builds resilience and hunger. Nothing worth having comes easily.
“One of the things that’s kept me going is that I can kinda take the punches and keep going,” he says with a casual defiance. “A lot has happened over the years. I’ve learnt that the one person I can rely on is myself. The only way I’ve found myself dealing with it all is to channel it into creativity.”

Hutchinson’s brand new album ‘Battles’ builds on the momentum gained having shared bills across the planet with bands including Blackberry Smoke, ZZ Top and Jeff Beck. The record crash landed in the UK Official Independent Album Chart Top 20, gaining over 120K streams in its first week alone. It features two Planet Rock playlisted tracks – ‘Constellations’ and ‘Bullets’ – plus ‘Days Are Gone’, which was featured on the BBC Radio 2 Rock Show.

Hutchinson takes the album on the road throughout 2024, building on a 10 year touring career that has included multiple headline tours of the UK, America, Brazil, Spain and Czech Republic, plus festival appearances in Germany, Switzerland and France.
“Gritty riffs and blazing solos.” (Planet Rock)
“Tough, immediate and rockin’. Hutchinson was born to sing soul and blues.” (Classic Rock Magazine)
“An angst-ridden blaze of creative glory.” (Rush On Rock)
“Hutchinson’s vocals soar with haunting poignancy, against a backdrop of blistering blues-rock melodies.” (MNPR Magazine)
“Growling vocals combine with raunch ‘n’ roll acoustic and electric guitars. A name to watch out for.” (Guitarist Magazine)
