After two years in the East End (at The George Tavern), Jukebox Jam is moving to a great, new, central London venue on Friday 11th September. With its juke joint feel, Peter Parkers Rock 'n' Roll Club (also home to The Vout-O-Roonie) could have been tailor-made for this hot rhythm & blues hop.Resident DJs Liam Large and Michael Jemmeson will be joined by special guest Jazzman Gerald for a night of 50s and 60s jump blues, r&b, ska and a little boogaloo.
There will also be live performances from Tom Colborn and an excellent garage / r&b outfit called The Dirty Robbers (as you can tell from the name, they are heavily influenced by The Sonics, though play some great blues too) with a handsome young vocalist whose scream is sure to drive you wild.
Jukebox Jam are also celebrating their 2nd anniversary by launching a reissue label, in association with Jazzman Records, promising to feature "nothing but raw 50s / early 60s R&B". The first two 45rpm releases will be available to buy on the night for £5 and will hit record shops shortly after, retailing at £8. These releases are:
JBJ-1001 - Rose Mitchell – "Baby Please Don't Go" b/w Jo Ann Henderson - "Baby Please Don't Go"
JBJ-1002 - Joe Tex – "Pneumonia" b/w "Pneumonia" (alternate version)
And as if that wasn't enough, there will be free mix CDs given away on the night too!
With the possible exception of Musical Fever (which happens to be on the following night - Saturday 12th September) this looks like being the best night out this month, so make sure you don't miss it!
