Blues & Other Good Music

Guru gigs!
Guru gigs!
The human story goes on and is often best expressed in the lyrics of songs and the way people play their chosen musical instruments. This statement relates to many genres of music. That is why on this page we will cover not just blues, but soul, rock'n'roll, country, jazz, punk, funk, reggae, indie, folk, metal and great music in general...

Your contributions are welcome: If you feel inclined to add a review of bands, solo musicians, venues or related things, or if you are in a band yourself and want to tell us about it, email your contribution to beryl@guruboutique.co.uk (including a photo or some sort of related image if possible). I'll try and include your story and any photo's you supply on here if possible.

The photo alongside this intro features Imelda May, Ian Siegal and Norman Beaker, and we are happy to say they once played just for us...
