Nov 27th - The Bear, Stock, Essex: Another trip to Essex, reflecting the home base of two of the band members - Pete & Andy. This is quite an upmarket place, so we'll be on our best behaviour - if we can remember where we left it! Perhaps the new fans we made in Billericay in October will journey a few miles north to see us in Stock? Ray is just back from Oz but despite what Andy says, we will be playing neither "Waltzing Matilda" nor "Tie Me Kangaroo Down, Sport" - just our usual brand of classic and more modern blues material. 8.30pm - 11.00pm

Dec 9th - The White Lion, St Albans: "Can blue men sing the whites?" Well, the blues men of Out of the Blue are certainly playing the White Lion this week. Although they don't play any Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band numbers their repertoire does include blues-influenced stuff from Jethro Tull and some Southern Rock-style numbers from Lynyrd Skynryd and Dire Straits as well as classic blues from Albert King, Junior Wells and some more recent stuff from Robert Cray and Jeff Healey (RIP - what a sad death from cancer at 41). So yes, definitely white men can sing the blues - so why not the other way round? Get down to the White Lion and see the proof. 8.45pm - 11.05pm

Dec 15th - The Rose & Crown, St Albans: End of year sale!  This is definitely your final chance to see Out of the Blue in 2008.  Absolutely free ... but no refunds available.  Yes, Christmas is coming so we'd like to spread some good cheer.  There may even be a log fire going at the Rose & Crown - great for the punters but a bit hot for the band; still we generate enough heat ourselves.  Come to think of it we generate a bit of light too - well, light-hearted banter with our fans.  Don't miss it, set yourself up for Christmas with Out of the Blue. 8.45pm - 11.05pm

2009

Feb 11th - The Sunrunner, Hitchin: No, not a "fun run" - you won't catch us taking that much exercise! But we'll certainly generate some heat to match the sun; and, yes, it'll be fun - as it always is at an Out of the Blue gig. This pub has booked quite a few blues and blues/rock bands, so we should all feel at home here. Come and join the fun and groove to the sound of Out of the Blue in Hitchin 'cos "y'know you need a shot of rhythm 'n blues". 8.45pm - 11.05pm
