We're on our summer holidays and we return to our home at the Southgate Club on Friday 11th September with Kaspar Rapkin & The Swamp Dogs.
In the meantime we turn our attention to our ever popular annual Broomfield Blues on the Bandstand in Broomfield Park N13 4PL on the first four Sundays in August starting this Sunday, August 9th with Doc K's Blues Band followed by The Blues Chapter, what a magnificent opener!
Each Sunday starts at 1.30pm with three open mic performances (these have been pre-booked and are all full) followed by two bands of the highest calibre to give you a flavour and celebration of the best of St Harmonica's Blues Club.
Come and join us and listen to great music while enjoying the delights of a terrific bar courtesy of The Little Green Dragon Ale House and some fine hot food from local caterers.
Thanks to generous local sponsorship and our partnership with The Friends of Broomfield Park these events are free admission to all. More information on the following link:

There is a magnificent bar provided by The Little Green Dragon Ale House and hot festival food can be ordered on site courtesy of 90 on the Green who will take your order, cook your food on their premises and deliver to you in the park. What a way to spend Sunday afternoon.

It is the first Friday of the month so there is no Blues Club this Friday BUT it is ,of course, our monthly blues jam on Sunday 5th July starting at 7.00pm prompt.
The house band, will kick off proceedings followed by carefully assembled bands selected from the singers and players who turn up on the night, all under the watchful eyes of Vera and Terry Duggan; the results are often magnificent and always interesting.
Jammers:
Sign in on arrival, ideally before 7.00pm, with name and preferred instrument.
We'll supply the drums, keyboard, amps, PA, and DI box for the occasional acoustic instrument.
We will endeavour to swap or cover mics, if requested, but singers are welcome to bring their own.
Queensbury Jamming Rules apply:

⚹ solos are generally 2 verses long, unless the singer decides otherwise;
⚹ sets are 3 songs (unless we're running out of time, or your songs are 10 mins long);
⚹ if you aren't a drummer or keyboard player, bring your own instrument. Drummers, do bring your own sticks!
