It’s Advent and to mark the start of the Festive season what better way than to combine our Festive menu with the master of the slide guitar, Mr Roger Hubbard.
Roger is a world renowned artist and we are delighted to have him performing for this special event.
Born in Brighton U.K. Roger Hubbard is one of the major exponents of early blues and slide guitar.
In the 60s he was playing at folk clubs and continuing an interest in country and delta blues,
he started his own blues clubs in Lewes and Brighton. Along with regulars, Sam Mitchell and Dick Wardell, there were guest performances by Jo-Ann Kelly, Dave Kelly, Simon Prager, Steve Rye, Bob Hall, Graham Hine, Andy Fernbach and Tony McPhee.
In December 1970 Roger opened for Muddy Waters in Brighton.
Muddy Waters was quoted in SOUNDS Magazine as saying,
“Roger Hubbard is as good as any blues guitarist in the U.K. or the United States”.
Locally, roger plays with Buick 6 and other brilliant acts, as well as for many years performing with Jon Cleary before the latter rose to international fame and residence in the USA.
