blues club @ temperance | The Swaps // Ferbrache and Fry ("The Achievers")

We are super-thrilled to announce the line-up for our June club. As ever, the second Wednesday of every month. And it's another cracking lne-up.

Regulars will know that these sell out very quickly indeed. Normally within hours of being announced.

"Steve Ferbrache (guitar & vocals) and Rufus Fry (Harmonica) are founding members of the award winning Blues/Roots band The Achievers, together at last doing a 'bit on the side'. Gritty Blues, Swinging Roots, Country, Gospel. Americana, Bluegrass and plenty more Folksy Gubbins. They'll be joined on double bass by Jack Thomas."

FIrst set - The Swaps

Sloppy second set - Ferbrache and Fry

Richard the third second - massive all-in 'anything could happen' jam

Finalists in the 2025 UK Blues Awards, The Swaps are Beth Brooks (vocals), James Knight (guitar and vocals), and Adam Phillips (guitar and vocals). They have been honing their blend of blues, soul and folk for many years in different line-ups but have recently found the real magic (and national recognition) as an acoustic trio.

The Swaps build most of their music around Beth’s jaw-dropping vocals and the instinctive guitar interplay between James and Adam. The dynamics and variety of textures they achieve with only two instruments and three voices is astonishing. All three are songwriters, which perhaps explains the variety and exceptional quality of their material.

As ever, there will be an extended jam at the end, unrehearsed collaborations and the excitement of seeing talented musicians perform together for the very first time.

Always wonderful evenings. Always sells out quick! Get on it!
