Carlisle’s very own blues legends the Chris James & Martin Fletcher Band come to the newly formed Folk and Blues Club this Friday.

Chris James, guitar and vocal and Martin Fletcher, amplified harmonica and vocal, first met when booked to play at the same venue. They liked each others music and gradually started working together, notably reaching the Final of the New Brunswick Battle of the Blues in 2013. They have 2 independently made EP’s of mostly their own songs. In 2014, they wrote and performed the music for a BBC Radio 4 documentary. They also perform as a trio with percussion or quartet with Bass as well.
