Due to the illness of Bob and Hilary it is with much regret that this performance has been cancelled.

Friends since they were neighbours in the sixties, England’s premier blues vocalist/guitarist Dave Kelly (of the Blues Band) & blues & boogie pianist/mandolinist Bob Hall have had illustrious careers and won many awards for their artistry.


Down the years Dave and Bob have cooperated on many critically acclaimed song-writing projects, have played in each other’s bands and on each other’s records.


Complimenting the duo reunion is Hilary Blythe on bass and guitar, an emotive singer of classic folk blues.
