Honey Bee Blues History
The Honey Bee Blues Club held it’s first gig on the 17 January 2014, and we instantly found ourselves
with a loyal crew and following. Over the subsequent 6 years the club grew from a single event to
promoting an average of 16 gigs a month, and running up to 6 stages on the alternative tramlines
circuit, along with the blues stage at the annual Peace in the Park Festival . Working closely with our
resident Texan, Ash Gray, we started developing connections with Austin, TX, and began regularly
promoting several American acts. By 2018 we had also started to work with venues outside of our
home turf of Sheffield, and had began to organise small tour dates for several visiting acts from both
Europe and the USA. We also set up Honey Bee Records, releasing limited editions of both vinyl and
Cds from the likes of Chris Wragg and Greg Copeland, Cold Jackets, Ash Gray and Sieben. Poised for
greater things in 2020, we find ourselves along with the whole world in a forced limbo. Along with
the Dorothy Pax, our spiritual home, we have continued, as much as regulations have allowed, to
run outdoors gigs during this summer. We shall return.
