Event information

Even by the lofty standards of Northern Ireland, where drinkers still raise a toast to the audacious talent of the late Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, this young maestro’s name is being dropped in the same reverential breath. Certainly, Simon is a fan, and the energy and aggression of his live show recalls those much-missed Irish masters, but it is clear this musician is nobody’s heir, but rather his own artist.

Back by popular demand. having hosted him at The Haven Club a year ago, this is the sound of a world-class talent.

Come and witness him in the intimate surroundings of The Bullingdon, before he reaches the stadiums and he is a dot on the distant stage.

THE BRITISH BLUESMAN KEEPING TRADITION ALIVE WITH A TOUCH OF THE DELTA
Blues in its purest form. That's what UK roots musician Poplar Jake is all about. Armed with a trusty resonator, he tell us why the lone cry from the soul remains music's primal force, and how Delta blues is more potent than ever in these modern times.
