Gaz's Rockin' Blues : The First 30 Years (book)

Gaz's Rockin' Blues : The First 30 Years
book by Gaz Mayall

Gaz's Rockin' blues is an institution and London's longest running one-nighter club.
It was founded by Gaz Mayall on the 3rd of July 1980 and was held at Gossip's on Dean Street, Soho, until November 1995 when it moved to St Moritz in Wardour Street.
For all the boastful accolades that club promoters plaster on their flyers, few have the kudos earned from throwing a successful party every single week for the past three decades.
Then again, not everyone runs an institution like Gaz's Rockin Blues.
Veteran DJ and musician Gaz Mayall, son of legendary bluesman John, has been treating London to a freestyle blend of ska, reggae, rockabilly, rhythm n blues and rock 'n' roll since 1980, when his club night provided a late night home for the capital's young rebel dance music, whether you were a skin, a rocker or a rudeboy.
It s still going strong: you'll find throngs of people swinging to guest live bands and DJs every Thursday night at Soho basement dive St Moritz.
It's also the kind of hangout that keeps new generations coming, so the crowd always stays fresh.
Those who aren't old enough to go yet can mingle with everyone else at Gaz's sound-system at Notting Hill Carnival, where he's been causing a roadblock since 1982, or at his stage at Glastonbury.
His book, Gaz's Rockin Blues: The First Thirty Years, highlights the club's colourful characters and legendary acts.
