This Friday, it's the turn of the Legendary Night Owls. Here is the text I sent to the local press. I'd like to think it will be published.

New Orleans Club smashes through the 200-member barrier
The revival of fortunes at what is possibly the last remaining not-for-profit members club dedicated to keeping alive the music of jazz continues as the New Orleans Club in Queen Street, Louth, has now over 200 members. This number is expected to grow even further as news of local blues band the Legendary Night Owls spreads. Now well into its Friday night residency at the club (also known as Louth Jazz Club) the band will be playing again on Friday 25th of September at 8.30 PM. They will be joined by Stunz and Harpman - Mick Stones and Legendary Night Owl’s singer and harmonica player Ken Mayle - who will take the stage for the first half of the session. The duo have been together on and off for many years, playing blues in addition to Bob Dylan songs. On Friday, they'll be performing an acoustic blues set that will include pieces by Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and Slim Harpo, together with a generous helping of their own songs. Stunz is a brilliant slide player for which he uses an eye-catching green steel guitar whilst the Harpman, though less flamboyantly armed, is a top-class player with a bluesmans voice. All in all, a great double bill and not to be missed. Please note that The New Orleans (Louth) Club is a Members' Club. Members are welcome to bring guests, who must be signed in on arrival. Entrance fee for members is £4 and for their guests, £6. The cost for the first 12 months membership is £10, subsequent years £6. Members must be over 18 years of age. Prospective members can join in time for the Friday session on-line at http://louthjazzclub.org.uk/membership.php
