Selected Highlights
Empire Blues – The Chris Taplin Blues Band
Description
Belfast’s own weekly live Blues club
The Chris Taplin Band - inspired by the music of Muddy Waters, SRV, Howlin’ Wolf, Albert King, Hendrix and more, this Belfast four-piece have assumed the Thursday night residency of the much-loved and greatly missed Rab Mccullough. We couldn’t replace those nights of course, but these guys were regulars on Thursday nights and joined him on stage many times.
Admission Free.
