Bell Street Blues Club Night - Puke Ariki, New Plymouth

THURSDAY 12 AUGUST

Hosted by the Most FM’s Bell Street Blues Show, this promises to be a night of top blues action.  New Plymouth’s own Blue Monkey Racket open the night.  Fronted by Nic “Jellylegs” Boheimer, Blue Monkey Racket have a growing reputation as a dynamic live act, both locally and nationally.  They are followed by Wellington’s The Thomas Oliver Band, who mix blues with rock, country and roots music influences.  The night of blues closes with Britain’s latest blues sensation, the Oli Brown Band. Oli Brown’s guitar style has been described as a cross between Rory Gallagher and Steve Cropper. He and his band come to NZ fresh from playing Glastonbury in June.
