In our mission to bring top quality bands from all over the U.K to Warrington we’re excited to have booked The Gerry Jablonski Band. Aberdeen’s internationally acclaimed blues-rock outfit. The Gerry Jablonski Band charged into 2026 with a new weapon in their arsenal—frontman and powerhouse vocalist, Nicky Aiken. A familiar face on the Aberdeen music scene and a former Royal Marine Commando, Aiken trades in military tours for international music tours as he joins the band full-time.
The announcement follows a standout guest performance with the band at their Aberdeen show last September, where sparks flew and the chemistry was undeniable. Frontman Gerry Jablonski recalls, “We knew it would take a special kind of lunatic to come aboard this ship of fools. But after that gig, it was clear—we had to take the collaboration further. The music just clicked.”
Aiken, who has shared stages with the likes of Marti Pellow and fronted his own band Nicky Aiken and the Temple Sons, was, in his own words, “in between things” when he got the call. A chance supermarket encounter with Jablonski Band harmonica player Pete led to the now-fateful invite. “I think he felt sorry for me,” laughs Aiken. “Next thing I knew, I was mid-set at their show with about 10 minutes’ rehearsal.”
Since that night, the new line-up has hit the road hard—touring the UK and Europe, recording new material, and even filming a promotional video with Aberdeen-based creative Mike Black. A new album is in the works, with a release slated for later this year.
The band is busier than ever, with dates across the UK, France, Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic. Their signature blend of heavy riffs, searing harp, and blues-infused rock continues to evolve—with the addition of rich vocal harmonies and a rejuvenated sound thanks to Aiken’s dynamic voice.
​The Gerry Jablonski Band remains one of Scotland’s must-see live acts, delivering explosive, high-energy shows wrapped in gritty blues power. And they still offer their trademark challenge: If you don’t enjoy the show, tell them afterwards—and they’ll give you your money back!

Killin' Floor was formed in early 2025 by two talented musicians, Paul Johnson and Regan Owens, both former members of the Rusty Nails Blues Band. ​Initially starting as a duo with a looper to create a full band sound, they quickly expanded their line-up by recruiting a rhythm section comprising of electric bass (Ken Pressdee) and drums (Graham Brennan). The next stage in the evolution of Killin' Floor was to recruit experienced keys player, Terence "Tec" Etchells. His addition created a fuller sound, allowing Paul to focus on developing the lead guitar. This strategic move not only enhanced the band's musical depth but also set the stage for a more dynamic performance.
The band, known for their captivating renditions of both modern and classic blues, is now on an exciting journey to create their own original music. With each note, they blend their unique style and influences, promising a fresh take on the genre. The band have recently completed the writing and recording of their first original EP, Snake Oil!
