Saturday is Swan Song Project (charity) day with Burning Rope, Franny Eubank, John Montana Trio, Ben Buddy Slack and Ugly Mug Jug Band --------------------------------------------------------------- BURNING ROPE Burning Rope is the new band formed by former Catfish members Paul Long and Adam Pyke, with superb guitarist Alex Voysey on guitar and the excellent Mitch Weaving (who also toured several times with Catfish) on drums. The band is born out of family tragedy and loss following the death in October 2024 from cancer of the Catfish frontman Matt Long, and a desire by other members of the band to continue playing music. They’ll be performing new material written together over the past year, together with a few unusual covers. Their debut album, simply entitled ‘Burning Rope’, was launched in October 2025 and was no. 1 in the IBBA Uk blues playlist charts in the UK. Their second album is currently being recorded and will be released in May 2026. They were nominated in the UK Blues awards top 20 in the album of the year and band of the year categories, and in the top five in Emerging Artist of the Year. They are now touring the UK and will be heading out to Europe next Summer. FRANNY EUBANK & HIS BLUES BAND Manchester legend Franny Eubank & His Blues Band will be playing the Saturday at Bluesbury Festival “Fuelled by the Blues of Howlin’ Wolf, Little Walter and Sonny Boy Williamson and fired by the Devil himself, Franny’s Harmonica and deep, soulful vocals have set rooms alight with a blue flame night after night after night. If there’s one man and his band who can get an instant grin on your face and leave you wanting more, it’s Franny Eubank & His Blues Band” (Matt & Phreds) Bo Lee - Bass, John Ellis - Keys, Billy Buckley - guitar, Steve Oaks - drums JOHN MONTANA TRIO John Montana is a Manchester-based blues-rock guitarist, singer and songwriter known for his soulful, high-energy performances. Blending blues, rock, funk and soul with a psychedelic edge, he delivers a powerful, distinctive sound. With over 35 years in the industry, John has toured internationally across Europe, the US and Australia, performed at prestigious events, and built a reputation as a versatile and experienced musician. As frontman of The John Montana Trio, he’s played iconic venues and festivals across the UK and beyond, earning a strong following for their energetic live shows. Expect electrifying guitar, strong vocals, and a performance that connects with every crowd. BEN BUDDY SLACK (and the SWAN SONG PROJECT) Ben Buddy Slack has paid his blues dues as front man for The Blind Dead Mcjones Band. He is also a very strong man and on Swansong Saturday will be performing solo and raising funds for the SWAN SONG PROJECT charity which "writes songs with people facing end of life. Celebrating lives, making memories and leaving legacies" UGLY MUG JUG BAND The Ugly Mug Jug Band gives you back porch string band tunes and street corner Jug stomping blues. Played on a menagerie of musical curiosities and homemade instruments from washboards, tea chests, resonator guitars and harmonicas to the antique 7 string left handed fretless banjo . The band entertained at a recent Huddersfield Blues Club sesh and they all share a genuine lifelong passion for early 20th century American music delivered to you rough and raw. “Seeing The Ugly Mug Jug band is like watching a musical junk shop.” --------------------------------------------------------------- Love the blues?
