blues club @ temperance | The Swaps // Greg Brice // Trevor Babajack Steger

Temperance blues club with The Swaps is the worst kept secret in Warwickshire. Tickets disappear as soon as they go on sale because these are unique evenings - a chance to see some superb musicians let down their hair. The second Wednesday of every month has become the hottest ticket in town and April is now on sale. This time The Swaps are joined by two established blues club favourites.

Greg Brice is a proper talent. His intricate fingerstyle guitar and strident electric slide connect in the raw and immediate way that only proper roots music can. And that voice – clear as a bell, powerful and pure. "The most exquisite finger-picked acoustic blues that you could wish to hear. The performance reeked of authenticity" Fatea Mag-

Trevor Babajack Steger is an award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a string of accolades, chart-topping albums, and sold-out shows across the UK and Europe. Some might call it "acoustic blues", but his raw, ferocious energy, growling vocals, and masterful musicianship—on harmonica, National guitar, lap steel, and more—create a sound that defies categorisation.

There will be a set from each act, plus unrehearsed collaborations and an extended jam at the end. There's nothing like it...

Blues Club is Hosted by The Swaps
Finalists in the 2025 UK Blues Awards, The Swaps are Beth Brooks (vocals), James Knight (guitar and vocals), and Adam Phillips (guitar and vocals). They have been honing their blend of blues, soul and folk for many years in different line-ups but have recently found the real magic (and national recognition) as an acoustic trio.

The Swaps build most of their music around Beth’s jaw-dropping vocals and the instinctive guitar interplay between James and Adam. The dynamics and variety of textures they achieve with only two instruments and three voices is astonishing. All three are songwriters, which perhaps explains the variety and exceptional quality of their material. Oh, and a piano is creeping into their sets.....
