339.0. "Ruthless blues, After dark club Sat 11th Feb" by MARVIN::HEALEY (Brendan Healey, PSI-PSG/WACE) Thu Feb 09 1989 12:44

Ruthless Blues + support are playing at the After Dark club (formerly
carribean/paradise) on London street Reading on Saturday 11th Feb. I
think it's 3.50 to get in, and they don't say what time Ruthless are
playing, but they don't usually start until late, ie. after the pubs
have shut. As previous notes in this conference will confirm, they're
a very good band so don't miss it!. The turks head just round the
corner is a good place to start the evening off beforehand.

Brendan.

	Wonder if they're still palyin' the old Purple classic "Wring That Neck"? They're good so don't miss 'em. David.
339.2	Ruthless Blues info please	WELMTS::GREENB	burning with optimism's flames	`Wed Feb 15 1989 12:48`	4
	Ruthless blues - tell me more! Are they local to Reading, or do they venture as far as London? They sound kinda interesting.... Bob

	They play mostly in London. The mean fiddler, Cricketers at the oval and Torrington on the black horse road are a few recent venues. When in the Reading area you can usually catch them at the After Dark club and the Bridge in Bracknell. London gigs are always listed in Time out. John Knightsbridge formerly (much formerly) with the Yardbirds plays Lead, and I don't know what their names are, but watch out for the sax and harmonica players. Brendan.

	� I don't know what their names are, but watch out for the sax and harmonica � players. Little Stevie Smith - use to play with Bad Manners. The mainstay of the band was the bass player, who left - he had a really dry sense of humour. The drummer has played with Rick Wakeman, I believe. David.

339.7	Blast, blast, and thrice blast!!!	WELMTS::GREENB	burning with optimism's flames	`Tue Feb 21 1989 10:52`	9
	Thanks Dave - see what happens when I don't come in here for a couple of days? Tonight, unfortunately, is out, but I would have gone to the Torrington, it being only about 20 mins away. I used to frequent the place a lot 'back in the old days', when pub-rock was going to save the universe. Maybe next time 8^) Bob
339.8	honey hush!	YUPPY::OGLE		`Wed Feb 22 1989 00:33`	15
	Used to see them at the "Owl and the Pussycat", Redchurch St., Shoreditch quite often. They had a residency there every Thursday night, alas a change of landlord has seen the end of that, yet another live music venue bites the dust! Jules.
339.9	Bring back Johnny Mars!	EICIM1::JOANNE	O:-) (-:La Feline Flooz:-) (-:O	`Wed Jul 11 1990 13:26`	6
	Anyone any more dates on Ruthless Blues for around Augustish maybe? Feeling nostalgic after finding the old Angies gig guide and want to see the band I grew up on.... Jo.
