Blues in the Miners

John and the team at the Bluefront Blues Room are passionate about great live music. We are proud to have them at the Miners Arms. Make sure you visit their site to find out about what they have going on .... particularly at the Miners!

A long awaited message from the Blue Front - off we go again with an exciting programme of acoustic music in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Our hosts Mario and Karen always have good food and beer available and have made the Miners a welcoming real music venue. Do please excuse our website at the moment - it has gone haywire - hopefully soon fixed.

First off, an Americana evening:

Monday 27th October   The TOYHEARTS    8.30pm £8
Support: The Rosellys

The Toyhearts are an exciting 5-piece British band playing a mix of old-timey, blues, western swing and their own material. The line up comprises, guitar, banjo, mandolin, dobro and steel guitar, fiddle and double bass. They are just back from impressing the folks of Nashville, Tennesse, and having seen them live ourselves we can say "wonderful vocals and excellent players"

Support comes from The Rosellys, a duo who made a big hit earlier in the year and at The Two Rivers Festival. SEE PICS BELOW !!

Forthcoming gigs include:
Monday 24th November   GUY DAVIS - African American acoustic blues at its finest

Monday 8th December    Christmas Party   TBC
