As a special treat, Martin McNeill, the bluesman with a smile, is back at OLC, having delighted & amazed us on his Orpy debut last year when we celebrated Ross Jacques’s 80th birthday.

Martin is widely praised for his live performances, recordings, and online live streams. Radio presenter and music promoter Stephen Foster calls him “one of the country’s finest bottleneck blues guitarists” & we agree. But don’t just take our word for it come along & see for yourself.

In support, we just had to have the old boy back too, Ross Jacques now 81, maturing like a fine wine & still blowing his bluesharps strong.

There will be a hat collection in cash for Martin, who is travelling down from Leigh-on-Sea. The suggested minimum donation is £7, but please give more if you can afford it.

The CAMRA award-winning club bar (CARD PAYMENTS ONLY) & club premises will be open from 7 pm.

It’s free entry to OLC/CAMRA members & £1 to others payable at the bar.
