London Blues And Barrelhouse Club
The London Blues and Barrelhouse Club ran between 1957 and 1961 at the Round House public house at the junction of Wardour Street and Brewer Street in Soho, London. Established by Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner, it hosted many visiting American blues performers and was an important catalyst in developing British blues music, British rhythm and blues, R&B, and ultimately British rock music. History In September 1955, musicians Cyril Davies and Bob Watson set up the London Skiffle Club, meeting weekly on Thursday evenings in an upstairs room of the Round House pub. The venue was originally the Blue Cross inn, renamed the Round House in 1862 and rebuilt in 1892. "The Round House... Birthplace of the 1960s British R&B Boom", ''CyrilDavies.com''
