Warrington Blues Club

Event information

Our October show is something that will be really special as we welcome Burning Rope. The multi award winning blues rock band Catfish lost their frontman Matt Long to cancer in October 2024 aged just 29. There can be no Catfish without Matt, but the rest of the band wanted to continue to play and write together, so have started a new band called Burning Rope along with superb Gloucestershire based guitarist Alex Voysey. With a busy gig list already, including some festivals we are lucky to get them to play in Warrington.
As support we thought it fitting to bring back The New Kid, who played here last year. Caz knew Matt Long well and gave an emotional vocal tribute to him last time. This acoustic blues duo has made a significant impact with their soulful performances and undeniable talent. The New Kid's music is a delightful blend of traditional blues with a modern twist. Their acoustic setup allows for a raw and authentic sound that resonates deeply with listeners. The guitar work is intricate yet soulful, weaving melodies that are both haunting and beautiful. The vocals are rich and emotive, perfectly complementing the instrumental prowess of the duo.

Tickets £15 in advance or £18 cash/contactless on the door (subject to availability)
