THE FIRST Bingley Blues Bash will be held on January 30 at the town’s Arts Centre headlined by Mick Ralph’s Blues Band.

The band is returning to Bingley following a sold-out show in 2012 as Mick restarts his solo career.

In the intervening time Mick has been busy with his former band Mott The Hoople playing to big audiences across the world.

Also playing the Blues Bash – and making his first appearance in Bingley for 30 years – is rock legend John Verity.

John’s three-piece blues outfit features Argent/Kinks drummer Bob Henrit and Wishbone Ash bassist Bob Skeat.
