Pip Payne’s Milestone

Pip is one of the founders of Capital Blues, 27 years ago, helping to make Capital Blues the longest-running blues club in the southern hemisphere.

Now Pip is reaching a milestone of his own.

Join us to celebrate Pip Payne turning 70 – because speed limits are just a suggestion.

If you have seen Pip play recently, you’ll know his fabulous bluesy interpretations of some classic, but not blues songs. His versions of Sailing Shoes, and Brown Sugar, are worth the evening alone. He also has some great British Blues Boom style numbers of his own.

Pip will be joined initially by Roger Watkins on drums, and Elliot Fuimaono on bass, and there will be a limited number of guest spots.

Pip’s looking forward to playing blues with some of the people he’s jammed with over the years. If you would like to jam with Pip, get in touch beforehand so he can organise the spots. We’ve got a house backline, and DI for acoustic instruments.

There won’t be any candles, because that many would be more like a bonfire.
