The Self Righteous Brothers say that playing at Jack Dusty's is always a bunch of fun. Come and join Derek and Nigel from 3pm - 6pm as they head out with an eclectic selection of blues, country, folk, jazz and anything else that takes their fancy. Expect stripped-back takes on Kokomo tunes, a few Bob Dylan, Guy Clark and John Prine songs, some old Delta blues and early rag-time, all with harmonies, some groovy upright bass and a dash of slick and sparkling acoustic guitar.
