Wednesday: blue funk and a ukulele

It's the last Wednesday of the month which means its time to get your Ukulele out and get along to the Boarhound pub.Or just go along and applaud. Loudly. Meanwhile in Poynton, well, over to Garry the Hat to explain. 'Now here’s a thing, Chris Cook has cancelled his tour until next spring. Sad but every cloud apparently does have a silverlining. Instead of coming with Chris, Jim has put together what can justifiably be described as a blues supergroup for a Bluefunk ’exclusive’, one off event. This collaboration of top drawer musicians has never happened before and who knows, may never happen again. Ignore this at your peril, this is very likely to be one of those ’I was there’ sort of gigs. Feast your eyes on this lot.
