Live blues takes centre stage at The Wrekin Inn tonight

Groundhog Blues Club celebrates the diversity and excellence of British blues, with live music held on the first Thursday of most months at The Wrekin Inn, Wellington. The club was founded in memory of legendary guitarist Tony McPhee, who led British blues-rock pioneers The Groundhogs and lived in the town.

Season Four of the club continues this evening (June 4) as Jamie Thyer brings his blues-rock power trio to The Wrekin Inn. Jamie has entertained audiences for some 30 years with his bold unique and expressive guitar playing alongside the likes of Robert Cray, Peter Green, Jefferson Starship, Johnny Winter encompassing over 4,000 performances of hard gigging and recording, from pub back rooms to festival stages. “Wonderfully energetic and enigmatic, Jamie is one of the best frontmen in the Blues Rock scene today”.

Special support will be provided by Liverpudlian Raphael Callaghan, reputed to be ‘The best blues musician on Merseyside’. Both Jamie and Raphael have links to Tony McPhee, so the club will be putting together a small collection of Groundhogs memorabilia for the occasion.

Come on down to The Wrekin Inn for the latest instalment of The Groundhog Blues Club. Music from 7.30pm - 10pm, suggested donation of £5.
