Hot Box Chelmsford, 21 May 2026
Blues and rock and roll band led by esteemed Welsh singer-songwriter and pianist Geraint Watkins
OK then, let’s call it Americana. There was a time when it was nameless...just the good stuff to those in the know and when Geraint Watkins first started playing in bands like Red Beans and Rice and Juice on the Loose, they were like transatlantic railroad trains loaded with it rolling around the country. He was never the blazing headlight on the front of the engine, but always on the footplate, powering it through the mirk of bland music of the era.
For so many years a keystone of the bands of Nick Lowe, Van Morrison, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, Dave Edmunds and countless more, Geraint Watkins is also a revered creator of his own sublime music. Geraint Watkins now bringing his own band to Chelmsford featuring Oliver Darling guitarist for Imelda May, Martin Winning sax player for Tanita Tikaram and more, Bobby Irwin and Matt Radford
Chelmsford's grassroots music venue. Keeping independent music alive.
