We're excited to announce that we have secured the services of London’s finest champions of swinging blues The Untouchables to hit the JJJ stage on Saturday 9th August!

The Untouchables are champions of raw blues, basing their sound on the swinging soul of the great artists who recorded for Chess Records in the 50s and when The Untouchables take to the stage, you’ll be transported back to the days of rent parties and rumbas when the great blues masters kept them dancing ‘til the early hours. Expect an intimate show, drawing you into the place where blues, jazz and Latin rhythms meet.

These players have lived and breathed the style until it’s so much a part of them that it oozes out of their pores, delivering tight, swinging, focussed, authentic sounding urban blues, with every element honed to its bare essentials in an unostentatious display of taste and restraint. If you like Little Walter, Bo Diddley or Willie Dixon, then this is as close as you’ll get to seeing them live!

The Untouchables

The Untouchables transport you in time, bringing the blues of 1950s Chicago to 21st century England. This is the music of the Chess Records era influenced by jazz, folk, r'n'b and gospel. Featuring Keith Parker on harp and vocals, Peter Ellison on guitar and vocals, Paul Green on string bass and Malcolm Buckland on drums.
