We are sure you will love them too! Firm favourites on the blues & jump-jive scenes, The Cadillac Kings feature six of the UK's top blues and roots players. Inspired by the sounds and styles of the ‘40s & ‘50s, this group of phenomenal musicians has a reputation for wowing their audiences. Their album Highway 17 was voted ‘Blues CD of The Year 2004’ by The Times, and Trouble in Store was voted best UK blues CD of 2009 by Real Blues Magazine, Canada.

TOWNSHEND ALBUM LAUNCH The Eel Pie Club is proud to have been asked to host the CD launch of Simon Townshend's new album. His music has made a significant impact.

Mr. Townshend pushes the band to climax upon climax" (New York Times). "buoyant melodies....soaring vocal harmonies, ...irresistible chorus hooks pushed and pulled by the refreshing optimism of Simon's voice" (The Washington Post). In short, as London's Gig Guide said, "you would be a fool to miss them." Acoustic support will be provided by Mollie Marriott (daughter of Steve Marriott). £12 (£10 Members).
