On 20 October 2026, Henry's Blueshouse returns to Barbara's Bier Haus on Broad Street, Birmingham, with a free evening of live blues. The night is hosted in person by Jim Simpson, the city's music legend who has curated this gathering since the 1960s. Contemporary blues act 8 Before Ava is set to deliver two sets of atmospheric performances, continuing the event's legacy within a new setting.
Tuesday is Bluesday! Henry's is a free live blues night run by Birmingham music legend Jim Simpson who has been running it since the 1960s when he famously discovered Black Sabbath and became their manager in their early years. Jim is always at these events in person to say a few words and loves to say hello We generally try to arrive between 7 and 7.30. The bands usually play from 8 till 9 and then does a second set from 9.30 to 10.30. There's always space though so if you're late just come when suits you The band playing Henry's this week is a great sounding contemporary blues act called 8 Before Ava. Henry's has moved to a new venue recently but it should still be the same experience we're all used to, only better! If you're new we'll be easy to find. We'll put a comment on here about how to find us, what to look does etc.
