Really looking forward to getting back to London's legendary 100 Club with the band for what promises to be a fantastic night of live blues and blues-rock!
We'll be sharing the stage with two brilliant bands, Lightning Threads and The Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience.

**JACK-AUSTIN DESPY BLUES BAND**
The band and I will be bringing our own mix of blues and blues-rock, with plenty of original material and some great guitar-driven numbers!
It's always a privilege to play somewhere as iconic as the 100 Club, and I'm really looking forward to sharing the evening with two great acts.
Hope to see plenty of familiar faces there!

**LIGHTNING THREADS**
Hailing from Sheffield, Lightning Threads are an electrifying blues-rock power trio, combining vintage blues influences with powerful riffs, soulful swagger and groove-driven rock 'n' roll.
Since forming in 2019, the band have performed at major UK blues festivals and iconic venues including The Leadmill, The Greystones and the 100 Club.
They've also received airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music, featured on Joe Bonamassa's *Keeping The Blues Alive* playlist, and earned a UK Blues Federation Album of the Year nomination for their debut album.
Their latest album, *Trinkets*, continues to build their reputation on the UK blues-rock circuit.

**THE PAT FULGONI BLUES EXPERIENCE**
Acclaimed British vocalist Pat Fulgoni fronts this powerhouse five-piece, delivering an outstanding blend of soulful blues, blues-rock, funk and deep groove.
Their self-titled album reached **No. 3 in both the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association airplay chart and the Roots Music Report UK Albums Chart**, alongside UK Blues Awards nominations in 2025 and 2026.
Renowned for his extraordinary vocal power and soulful delivery, Pat and his band bring a captivating mix of hard-driving electric blues and deeply expressive traditional blues influences.
