Blues music in London

London is a city steeped in the history of the blues. In the early 1960s, many British blues bands began to form in an emerging London scene, and venues started popping up all over the capital. 

Today, you can hear London blues gigs across the city, from live music at dedicated blues bars such as Shoreditch's Blues Kitchen and Ain’t Nothin’ But... blues bar in Soho, to concerts at large London music venues including The O2.
