Our Guest for Friday July 18th 2025 is

Blues and More

plus The BAC-ing Band

Blues and More really began 50 years ago when Linda and Alistair ‘met in a pub, the dog days of the year, two guitars and a song between them (us)’.  They began writing songs together about 8 years ago and finally decided to record them so that their family would have a record of their work. Finally their CD is ready and so tonight they will share the fruit of their musical musings with you (plus some covers). 

They are eclectic in their  musical tastes and this is reflected in their writing. Music is their passion and has given them so much enjoyment over their many years together, and they hope it speaks to you in some way, either musically or lyrically.

Supporting them will be their studio band The BAC-ing Band, Bea Parker and grandsons Alex Arthur and Connor.

Have a look at the CD and see the art work of their two granddaughters Zoe Arthur and Ava.  

Programme

The first half of the evening brings musicians old and new to warm us up before supper and our main guest/s. We welcome new performers. See Graham at the door if you want to perform, but you will need to be there before the 8pm start.

Photos and Videos

Photos and some videos of performances will be taken during the evening and displayed on our Facebook page. We also have a Rafters Music Club YouTube channel where we display some videos (type Rafters Music Club into YouTube search to find these videos). Please see Linda if you do not want your images publicly available.

See you there

Graham, Linda, Jennifer and Alistair
