We are pleased to announce that Electric Blues Club will be organising an event at Hilly Fields Bandstand on the 16th July in conjunction with Friends of Hilly Fields who are also organising other dates (see their website above). Volunteers from Marie Curie will be taking collections for their charity on the day.
The bandstand is ideally located in the beautiful grounds of Hilly Fields Park on the junction of Clay Hill and Browning Road and has a history of providing great music every summer thanks to The Friends of Hilly Fields who not only saved it from demolition but also restored, improved and manage the venue for us to enjoy. If the weather is bad, the concert will be held at St Lukes Church. Thanks also to Data Connect and Enfield Council for sponsoring the concerts.

Each year we see the Live Music sessions at Broomfield Park going from strength to strength so we will be repeating them again this year!
The Electric Blues Club will be organising music on Sunday afternoons at Broomfield Park in conjunction with Enfield Council. Each week will have a different 'vibe', Indie/Pop, Traditional New Orleans Jazz, Rock n Roll and Blues. Forget the Sunday roast in August! Bring a picnic and join us for some great live music throughout the afternoon at the Bandstand. Oh and we also suggest bringing along something to sit on and a brolly ... just in case the grass is damp and the rain decides to fall!!
Want to appear in the park? Get exposure for your act? Solo and duo singers and musicians are invited to bring their instrument or backing track on an audio cassette or CD if they would like to get up and perform in the Open Mic / Floorspots slot. This year the best performer/s can win FREE studio time courtesy of Downs Sounds Rehearsal Studio (0208 211 3656) in Southgate! For further information contact Electric Blues Club via the contact form or turn up on the day by 12.30 to put your name down.

About the bands
Bear Cat Crawlers traditional New Orleans Jazz band were formed by local club member, musician and music teacher Robbie Martin. His group of fellow musicians work as a collective with various members coming together to perform when required. Their professionalism and years of experience enable them to pick up and play with practically anyone, anywhere, anytime.
This year line up includes Robbie Martin on Clarinet, x Acker Bilk Cornet player Ken Sims, Johnny Hayes on Trombone, Nick Singer on Banjo, Winnie Lodge on Double Bass and Dave Judd on Drums.
Stone Pony North londons hardest working covers band, comprises of Niol Sweeney (drums), Dan Sweeney (bass), C.J. Kelly (guitars) Damien O'Brien (Guitars) And Noel Martin (Guitars), The difference between Stone Pony and other bands is that every member sings so expect a variety of voices and sizes!!
Stone pony were supported by Pete Wood Band and the T-Jays
The Roosters This local band have started to build up a good reputation for great party music performing a range of 50's and 60's covers from artists like Buddy Holly, The Beatles and the Shadows to name just a few!
Fondly referred to as 3 Mechanics and a Trucker due to their daytime occupations and known for their work on Fenders! Line up includes Jim on drums, John on lead vocals and guitar, Peter on lead guitar and backing vocals plus our old friend Dave Brown on bass guitar and backing vocals who many will remember from club nights as one of the rotating house band and with RoXi's old band Blulix where he played Keyboards!
Local duo Broken Acoustic will be providing a selection of tunes during the interval
RoXi & the Blue Cats who again attracted the biggest crowd again at last years Sunday Sessions will be performing a mixture of blues/rock/jazz original material and cover songs by some of the great blues artists.
Fronting the band is dynamic vocalist Roxi (winner of the Greenwich Talent Show televised on ITV 6 '0' Clock Show judged by Jools Holland), produced and presented RoXi's New Band Show and Through The Night Show on Town FM, has subsequently appeared on Radio, TV and venues throughout the UK, Europe and the USA as a solo artist and front woman for a variety of covers and original bands including Blulix & Don't Panic. Her powerful, versatile range and emotive, raunchy style has been likened to such artists as Janis Joplin, Etta James and Stevie Nicks. From the gruff growl sliding into mellow sexy tones through to stratospheric notes, Roxi is an energetic and emotive performer who keeps the audience enthralled.
The Blue Cats line up this year includes exquisitely brilliant ex U-Boat bass player Philip Plant (also played on Man Who Fell To Earth film soundtrack and with Red Buddha Theatre), Rick Moxon on rhythm guitar the inimitable Jim Gardner (Blulix, the Donkeys, the Haunting A.D, the Sabbath Tribute Band) on drums and newcomer Martin Ellins on Lead Guitar. Martin is a guitar teacher for several schools and a real blues enthusiast who has embraced and helped to improve our set with his enthusiasm and excellent musicianship!
RoXi & the Blue Cats will be supported by popular local acoustic folk/contemporary singer/songwriter and guitar teacher Jim Dawson and his musical partner Lou on percussion who regularly provide entertainment to audiences at Folk Festivals, venues and for 'Music in Hospitals' and HM Prisons throughout the UK.
