Lucca Mae & her band – with support from Michael & Sadie Roach – 4th Emsworth ‘January Blues’ Festival – in association with Harbour Records

Lucca Mae is a rising star on the burgeoning London Soul / Rock‘n’Roll scene. Taking cues from the likes of Sam Cooke, Amy Winehouse & Paolo Nutini, her singing, songwriting, and performance is second to none.

With sold out gigs under her belt in the UK, Australia & Canada, alongside her solo weekly residency at the legendary Marquis Covent Garden, Lucca Mae is well underway and is taking over the UK, one gig at a time.

We are delighted to have her opening up our 4th Emsworth ‘January Blues’ Festival!  Presented in association with Harbour Records, this weekend festival will feature two nights of ticketed shows at St James Church Parish Hall on Friday and Saturday night, and a Saturday afternoon of FREE performances at various pubs in Emsworth.

FREE Blues! An afternoon in the Emsworth pubs

You heard it right, FREE MUSIC!  As part of the 3rd Emsworth ‘January Blues’ Festival (Jan 17-18, 2025), WemsFest and Harbour Records Emsworth are delighted to present an afternoon of free Blues music in three Emsworth venues: Queenie’s Tearoom, The Crown Hotel, and The Coal Exchange.

Presented by WemsFest and Harbour Records Emsworth, this weekend festival features two ticketed nights of brilliant blues (Friday & Saturday) and one long afternoon of FREE MUSIC in Emsworth pubs!

Friday night’s opening concert at St James Church Parish Hall features Bex Marshall and her band, hot off a US tour.

Saturday afternoon at The Coal Exchange and The Crown Hotel features Dino Baptiste, Mark Harrison, Michael Roach, and Ben Waters, who will rotate between the pubs, playing sets in both venues, between 1pm-5pm.  This will be Dino’s fourth WemsFest appearance (!) and we are thrilled to welcome his boogie-woogie fingers and keyboard back to Emsworth.  We are equally delighted to bring Mark, Michael, and Ben to WemsFest for the first time – all brilliant blues musicians with many accolades and accomplishments between them.

Saturday afternoon at Queenie’s Vintage Tearoom features the fantastic Debbie C at 2pm.

Saturday night’s closing concert at St James Church Parish Hall features Jo Harman and her 7-piece band, including local vocalists Amba Tremain & Leonie Gale

Tickets for the evening concerts are on sale now from Bookends and Harbour Records in Emsworth village, and online at www.WeGotTickets.com/WemsFest

At the evening shows, we’ll have our licensed bar serving delicious beer from Langham Brewery 🍻 as well as wines, local cider, nonalcoholic beers, and soft drinks.

For the afternoon music, you just need to get yourself to your favourite venue – Queenie’s Vintage Tearoom (beautifully hidden on the Portsmouth-bound platform at Emsworth Railway Station), The Crown Hotel, or The Coal Exchange) – in good time to get a seat! Then, enjoy your favourite beverage and let the music come to you.
