Gigs | The Jake Leg Jug Band

Bringing you the authentic sounds of 1920s and 30s America – jazz, blues, ragtime and gospel – with a side order of murder, betrayal, liquor and redemption!

Evoking a bygone age with both their sound and look, The Jake Leg Jug Band have proved hugely popular at top jazz festivals and clubs across the UK. Their latest album, Live at Green Note (the band’s 10th in 13 years), was released in March 2025. Blues Matters Magazine noted “the sense of fun that band injects means that this album is never anything less than foot-stomping.”

Expect to hear long-forgotten songs played on a range of vintage instruments including washboard, harmonica, comb and paper, musical saw, bones and, of course, the humble jug!

Duncan Wilcox: vocals and double bass
Warren James: vocals, guitar and banjo
Liam Ward: vocals, harmonica, jug, washboard, saw and kazoo
Plus guest musicians
