Live blues night at The New Adelphi Club with the James Oliver Band and bassist Norman Watt-Roy, presented by Screaming Tarts.
The James Oliver Band are playing The New Adelphi Club on Friday 16 April 2027, with bassist Norman Watt-Roy on the bill. The night is presented by Screaming Tarts at the Adelphi, one of Hull's most iconic independent rooms.
It's a pairing of two musicians from very different backgrounds. James Oliver is a Welsh guitarist who's one of the UK's busiest working acts, playing over 300 gigs a year across the UK, Europe and the USA, with more than 3,000 performances behind him. He's shared stages with Albert Lee, Bill Kirchen, Deke Leonard, Greg Koch, Walter Trout and Steve Gibbons. In 2020 he won the UK Blues Awards Emerging Artist of the Year, was nominated three more times, and his album Twang sat at number one on the Amazon Blues Charts for three weeks. He's currently working on a new record with producer John Leckie.
Norman Watt-Roy is a bass legend who played with Ian Dury and the Blockheads and Wilko Johnson. He left his mark on a string of 1970s and 80s classics, including the original bass part on Frankie Goes to Hollywood's 'Relax', and has worked with Nick Cave in the 21st century. The two come together here as part of the James Oliver Band.
