Last week I went into London to watch a band called Gentleman Tim and the Contenders. This was at Ain’t Nothin’ But… a blues bar in London that has live blues acts playing every night of the week – amazing!

It was quite a small venue, with the band at the far end squashed onto a small stage, but they were great, the main attraction, and there was a really happy vibe in the place.

The bar boasts that it has the best the blues this side of the Atlantic, and that it is ‘the home of the blues’. Quite serious statements! I’m not sure how accurate they are, but I’d definitely go back, and hope to play there soon too!
