Overlooking Montpellier Gardens, one of the town centre’s most picturesque locations, the vividly painted Blues Bar packs an unlikely punch amongst its more gentile neighbours, which include Betty’s Tea Rooms, an interior design shop, Oxfam and an art gallery.

However, due to its unique, welcoming vibe, its insistence in providing high quality, free live music every night of the week, and the incredible support of its customers, the bar has developed a strong position in the community.

As a music venue, the bar now offers free entertainment 7 days a week with residential slots for local musicians, regular jam sessions and appearances from bands as far afield as California, Africa and Canada.

Part of the attraction of Blues Bar is its eclectic mix of customers, from the families that come to enjoy the laid back Sunday afternoon slots to 18 year old students who appreciate a great night out on a strict budget and die hard music lovers who have been supporting the bar for 21 years.
