Thursday November 8th   -  Andy Broad's  Rhythm Kings

    If you haven't got your tickets for this one you'd better hurry
    it's sure to be a sell out. (Don't panick there will be few left on the
    door I'm sure). The Rhythm Kings combine the contrastng guitar talents
    of Andy Broad and Buster Wingham to give the best blues R&B show in
    town.

Thursday November 15th  - The Hot Tamales

    The Hot Tamales were cooked in the embers of Reet Petite & Gone, and
    feature Stewart Carr on Guitar and Vocals. They play an excellent
    mixture of old time country blues liberaly salted with Stewarts
    original matierial. They recently recorded their latest album in New
    Orleans. I must for fans of great music.

*Sunday November 18th* - *The Naughty Rhythms Tour - Featuring Canned Heat*

    This has got to be the biggee for this month if not the year. Joining
    Canned Heat for this Rhythm And Blues extravaganza are Dr Feelgood, The
    Kursal Flyers and John Otway (you what?)

Thursday November 29th - The Ainsley Lister Band

    On his last visit to the club Ainsley recorded his new solo Album. This
    time he returns with the full band and so i'ts sure to be a riotous
    night. Ainsley id fast becoming one of the most popularplayers at the
    rockier end of the blues market. Don't miss this if you want like
    poerful guitar lead Rhythm & Blues.

Thursday December 6th  - The Bill Thomas Band

    I *HAD* to sneek this december date in as it should be a real treat for
    fans of American blues. Bill Thomas was born in Texas the son of a
    preacher but has now moved to Paris, and moves in the same circles as
    Bernard Allison ( Luthers son). I heardabitof the CD and this night
    promisess to be a great mixture of soul r&b and out and out blues.


The Bullfrog blues meets Thursdays at South Parade Pier and is becoming one of
the best places to see rhythm and blues on the south coast.
