So what's it all about?
Guisborough Rhythm and Blues Club was established in May 2000 . It was a dream realised for the founders of the club Kath and Ralph who have worked tirelessly for many years prior to its birth in providing us with music from local bands and musicians at the regular Monday night jam session at the Black Swan (all welcome).
The club began in Guisborough Cricket Club originally and the first band were the amazing Connie Lush and Blues Shouter - a Liverpool based band who kicked the club off to a tremendous start with the kind of performance which probably no one ever imagined they would see in a small town club. The following 2 gigs were equally well supported and unfortunately due to some sound problems the venue then had to move to Guisborough football club. In gaining momentum it has regular visitors from right across UK as well of course as much nearer to home. Every effort has been made to keep the music diverse and the price affordable to encourage more visitors to the club and most who do attend find it to be exceptional value.
Sadly Ralph passed away peacefully in July 2011 after a long illness and will be missed by all who knew him, Kath along with the help of friends will continue promoting the club bringing live music to Guisbrough for as long as the club continues to be supported.
The club prides itself in having something to offer everyone with so many different styles from Reggae blues, Blues rock, Boogie Woogie, Soul. It is simply about music - and covers a wide spectrum. Come along and visit us - you will find a real welcome and make many new friends as well as enjoying the music. There are few places you could go and spend an evening listening to this quality of music at such an affordable price and you are guaranteed to leave feeling in awe of the artists and the performance - you will be hooked.
