Topic: Hows about a Blues Jam before the RAH gig ?
Just had this thought.
A trans Atlantic ad hoc blues band playing a gig in London before the RAH gig.
There's a small pub near Carnaby Street called "Ain't Nothin But The Blues"
Very small. Wood, old, real ales, food.
It has live blues most if not every night and weekend afternoons.
Very small stage in the corner.
I've been a couple of times and enjoyed it.
I bet we could rustle up enough instruments from the UK guys.
What would we call ourselves ??........The Transatlantic Bonamaniac Band ??
Could you imagine the introduction......."ladies and gentlemen. All the way from the USA and all points in the UK.......it's the.....fill in name of your choice"........and straight into Bridge to Better Days.
Started this as a joke, but the hair is standing up on my neck (wow) so maybe we really ought to think about this !!
If nothin' else, we ought to have a beer there and permanently paste a Joe poster on the wall.
The pub has a web site but it isn't working when I tried it just now

Found a very short review of the place here though. Doesn't tell you much but does show you where it is.
