Darlington R&B Club

Darlington R&B Club We have, for the first seventeen years, held our events at Darlington Arts Centre until it closed, in July 2012.

Darlington R 'n' B Club was formed in 1995 by a group of RnB enthusiasts who decided to do something themselves due to a lack of live RnB music in town.We run our club out of The Forum Music Centre in Borough Road Darlington every month. We then moved to the Dolphin Centre for four months but we didn't settle there due to sound problems that couldn't be rectified. We are now based at The Forum Mus

ic Centre in Borough Road, Darlington. A committee of 6 people run the R'n'B Club, giving up a lot of their spare time in order that the Club can function correctly. Of course choosing the right band is also an important factor in our remit. We work hard at getting the right blend of bands that cover the wide umbrella of “Rhythm ‘n’ Blues.”

We don’t always get it right but we have a good idea of what our patrons like, and we try to balance this when introducing new bands that we feel will suit the majority of people. The club's atmosphere is very friendly, and any newcomer's are always made to feel welcome. So if you haven't been before, why not come along and join us for a great night's entertainment?

The eagle eyed among you may have already spotted it as part of the Darlington R&B Club announcement, but I am delighted to share that I'll be part of the 2024 Darlington Rhythm 'N' Blues Festival line up.

Catch me from 2:30pm 'til 4:15pm at BOOT & SHOE playing a jam packed set. As part of the Fringe events I'll be playing alongside cracking acts like The Bone Idols and Dave Arcari, while The Blockheads, Teresa Watson Band, and more play on the main and Riverside stages.

This is going to be a great weekend. Hope to see some familiar faces!
