Ragtime, jug band swing and old-time grooves from Bristol’s finest. Infectious rhythms, vintage vibes and pure good-time energy

Clay Bottom Jug Busters are Bristol’s neighbourhood jug band, serving up blistering blues, hard-hootin’ hokum and ragtime-infused revelry inspired by the great jug bands of Memphis. Founded by blues shouter and harmonica player Joe Strouzer and guitarist Joseph Trudgeon, the band draws on the rich traditions of the Memphis Jug Band and Gus Cannon’s Jug Stompers while delivering performances packed with energy, humour and irresistible rhythm.

With harmonica, mandolin, guitar, double bass and old-school percussion combining to create a joyous wall of sound, the Jug Busters are as much about dancing and singing along as they are about musical authenticity. Whether you’re a lifelong blues fan or simply looking for a great time, this is roots music at its most infectious.
