Birthday Gathering ~~Celebrating our 12th year~~ The first MWR&BC event of 2026 will feature North Wales / Liverpool based RAPHAEL CALLAGHAN & will be a joint MWR&BC & BFC presentation. Raphael brings his own brand of blues and gospel to Brecon for the first time on Sat 24th January 2026. Eureka moments for Raphael were hearing Louisiana Blues by Muddy Waters on the Radio in the late '50s, then seeing Alexis Korner's Blues Inc at a tiny basement club in his home city of Liverpool in 1964 when he was still at school. Then came The Country Blues LP on RBF with Blind Lemon Jefferson, Bukka White and more, and he was hooked. He first got together as harmonica player with singer Jim James in 1966 - yes, that's 60 years ago - and in 1969 they made their debut recordings for the Liberty label produced by Tony McPhee. After the duo parted in 1972, Raphael took up guitar but never had the patience to learn 'proper' chords so invented his own alternate tunings and added melodic slide. He began writing his own Blues songs and in 1993 won the inaugural Contemporary Blues Song of The Year Award at the Great British R & B Festival at Colne. In a long and varied career, he's played with Alexis Korner, Jo Ann Kelly, Eric Bibb, Bonnie Raitt, Jessie Mae Hemphill and more. He has three solo albums, the new one Always in Arrears described as 'his best yet' in Blues In Britain magazine Discover him for yourself at Kensington Baptist Church . . .
