January Blues Festival 2025 presents
BLUES 'N' TROUBLE
+ special guests: THE MILK MEN
+ Host/DJ: SNOWBOY

Inspired by Canned Heat and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and named after the 60's Doctor Ross blues tune, BLUES 'N' TROUBLE were formed in the early 1980s by Tim Elliott (harmonica/vocals) and John Bruce (guitar).

After the their acclaimed debut LP 'First Trouble' (1985), BLUES 'N' TROUBLE went on to become one of the hardest working blues bands on the scene. They shared stages with B.B. King, Robert Cray, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Pinetop Perkins, Charlie Musselwhite and recorded with Lazy Lester.

BLUES 'N' TROUBLE have recently resurfaced on the scene and we are thrilled to welcome the group to appear at the January Blues Festival for their first London date in over a decade.





The Milk Men are one of the most acclaimed blues rock bands in the UK right now.

With former Pirate Mike Roberts on drums, Lloyd Green (son of guitar legend Mick Green) on bass guitar, husky blues singer Jamie Smy on vocals, the band is rounded off on guitar by Adam Norsworthy.

The Milk Men's latest LP 'Holy Cow!' and the acommpanying single 'One Man Band' have both gone straight into the iTunes Blues chart at #1
