Raphael Callaghan

With weird guitar tunings, melodic but fiery slide work and a large catalogue of what he calls ''home-made'' songs, Raphael Callaghan is a survivor of the British blues boom of the '60s.

Raphael, from Liverpool, has shared stages with Alexis Korner, Jo Ann Kelly and, in recent years, with Eric Bibb and Bonnie Raitt. But he's always stayed around his operating base on Merseyside.

For this rare London gig, a special one-man show, he'll include a gospel set (with some of his originals in that genre) along with interpretations of songs by his all-time blues hero Skip James. There'll be plenty from Said And Done, and a batch of new songs that must be heard.
