The Cheltenham based garage rock ‘n’ roll band have been gigging and recording heavily over the past few years and will be releasing their debut album this year wit the gig at Joe Joe Jims forming part of their promotional tour so expect some great new numbers as well as classics from the band’s back catalogue (checkout their excellent Brand New Day EP) and the video for Go Go Boy below for a taste of what the band have to offer.

We are very excited to have secured the services of two stalwarts of the British R&B scene – two great voices, two great reputations – for a wonderful evening of acoustic blues, soul and good times, and no doubt a little humour.

Maggie Bell – Scotland’s Queen of Soul, founder member of Stone the Crows, later had an incredibly successful solo career on both sides of the Atlantic, now once again back on the music scene after a 20 year lay off. She was a resounding hit at the Led Zeppelin reunion concert in 2008.

Dave Kelly – London’s slide guitar king, having learned his trade in the backing bands of, and recording with, Son House, Howlin Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells to name but five blues legends, a founder member of The Blues Band, still wowing audiences after nearly 30 years.

This is no slick show wheeled out with any predictability. Indeed when Maggie and Dave take to the stage ‘anything can happen’ (and often does)!

The Delray Rockets are a three-piece Rockabilly band that deliver one hell of a live punch with their energetic, fast-paced show – “putting the ‘Rock’ into Rockabilly” – and we are delighted to welcome them back to Joe Joe Jims on Sunday 22nd September.

As the band themselves point out, “don’t be fooled by the onstage setup of a double bass, Gretsch guitar and stripped down drum kit, looks can be deceiving. Once the amps are flicked on and the first beat is struck, hold onto your hats cos’ you’re in for a hell of a ride.”

Whatever style of music floats your boat, we can guarantee you’ll have a job sitting still to the Delray Rockets and your foot will be tapping in no time … maybe even experiencing the undeniable urge to dance!
