Chris Corcoran, Elsie Franklin

We’re thrilled to welcome the incredible Chris Corcoran Trio for their first ever show at the Crawdaddy Club – and it’s shaping up to be something very special.

Chris Corcoran is widely regarded as one of the UK’s top blues guitarists, with a distinctive style that blends swing, jump blues and vintage tones with jaw-dropping technique. A regular on the UK blues circuit, Chris has picked up multiple awards and nominations over the years, and if you’ve ever seen him live, you’ll know why. Backed by his superb rhythm section, the trio delivers powerful, all-instrumental sets that are full of groove, energy, and serious class.

To make the night even more exciting, Chris will be joined by Elsie Franklin as a special guest. Elsie is a gifted guitarist and singer with a deep love for early country blues – think fingerstyle, bottleneck slide, and a voice full of heart. She’s been making waves on the blues scene with her authentic, soulful performances that pay tribute to the likes of Memphis Minnie and Sister Rosetta Tharpe, while bringing something entirely her own.

Expect top-drawer musicianship, irresistible rhythms, and a night that’s full of character, soul and proper blues spirit.
