The Blues Cowboys - one of the UK's finest Blues bands announce a one-off 20th Anniversary show.

Time to round up your poss and head on up to The Polish Club in June as one of Bristol's most celebrated Blues bands, The Blues Cowboys, have announced they will be performing a single show in their hometown to celebrate their 20 years together.

Formed in 1991 by guitarist Rick Payne, The Blues Cowboys have played countless gigs in and around Bristol and beyond. Their unique blend of Chicago, Delta and West Coast Blues along with their own swing numbers make for a great night out.

The band consists of established Bristol regulars: Rick Payne and Cleve Bereray (guitars and vocals), Cliff Thorne (Bass and vocals) and Kieran Argo (drums).

Rick Payne states:

'From our early ventures back in the early 90's touring Europe and playing the local Bristol scene regularly, we soon developed an excellent chemistry and learnt how to perform to our collective strengths.

We now deliver our most musically mature and accomplished performances to date. We still love doing what we do best, that is, to perform our songs and covers with individual passion whilst maintaining a respect for the musical traditions. I'm glad to say we have only improved with age!'
