14.00 – 14.45 Dudlow Joe
Dudlow Joe’s infectious brand of boogie and blues has been a mainstay on the Bath & Bristol live music circuit for the last decade. They have appeared at various festivals around the south west and have been joined on stage by some of the biggest names in the current blues scene, including Ben Waters, Paddy Milner and Daniel Smith. Dudlow Joe’s material is a heady cocktail of boogie woogie, New Orleans rhythm & blues, Afro-beat and funk, and inspired by the likes of Dr John, Professor Longhair, Jools Holland, Bessie Smith, and (according to one reviewer) Groucho Marx. All this adds to the flavoursome musical gumbo that Dudlow Joe enjoy purveying to audiences hungry for a good time
