On Saturday 16th August we are pleased to welcome blues rock band Burning Rope to JJJ!
Following the sad death of frontman Matt Long in October 2024, the three remaining members of multiple UK Blues award winners Catfish have come together with superb blues session guitarist/producer Alex Voysey (nominated by the UK Blues Awards 2025 Best Album category for his album Blues in Isolation) - who has been gigging heavily with The Alex Voysey Band in recent years - to form a new band: Burning Rope.
They will be performing the songs written for Catfish by keyboard player Paul Long, and also songs he wrote for his previous band The Riotous Brothers, and the guys are also writing new material together.
We're really looking forward to this gig - the coupling of Catfish members and Alex Voysey is a mouth-watering prospect - and we're sure they'll do the memory of Matt Long proud in the process!
