Jazz in the Theatre The Clay Bottom Jug Busters

The Clay Bottom Jug Busters are Bristol's neighbourhood jug band, playing booty shaking blues and hard hootin' hokum straight from the streets of 1930s Memphis. 

Founded by blues shouter, harmonica player and jug blower Joe Strouzer upon his return from a season singing blues on the streets of New Orleans, and renowned Bristol jazzer and guitar slinger Joseph Trudgeon, the Clay Bottom Jug Busters cut their teeth at the Chelsea, Bristol's infamous punk pub, and since then have been charming crowds from local dive bars and village halls to London theatres and various stages across the Glastonbury Festival.
