'Ruzz Guitar's Blues Revue' - A powerful, Soul injected Blues/R'n'B/Rock'n'Roll band hailing from Bristol UK and lead by Gretsch endorsed guitarist Ruzz Guitar. After taking inspiration from many great guitarists such as Wilko Johnson, Brian Setzer, Jim Heath and Jimmie Vaughan, Ruzz has developed what he has learnt into his own style which is quickly becoming recognized around the globe.

After a few years of playing with multiple Blues and Rockabilly band's from Bristol and Bath and playing all over the UK and Europe, Ruzz has decided to put together this Blues/R'n'B/Rock'n'Roll band to showcase his unique, multi-genre guitar playing and song writing. Joining forces with drummer Zachary Evans and upright bassist Joe Allen from Bristol, they come together to create the unique sound that is "Ruzz Guitar's Blues Revue".

Since the band started in 2014 they have been going from strength to strength.

- They have opened for many well-known artists such as Dr Feelgood, Kirk Fletcher (The Fabulous Thunderbirds/Joe Bonamassa/Solo), The BlockHeads (Ian Dury & The Blockheads), Bill Kirchen and Darrel Higham (Imelda May/Jeff Beck/Solo)
- They have self-released two albums which have both amassed multiple plays on multiple independent and internet radio stations around the globe including “Hank’s Americana Radio” and 90.1 FM KPFT “Howlin’ The Blues” broadcasting out of Houston Texas, BBC Radio Wales during Adam Walton’s “BBC Introducing” Show broadcasting from the UK and Banks Radio Australia to name a few.
- The most recent album release (“Burn Out” – November 2016) features special guest Pete Gage (The Jet Harris Band/Dr Feelgood/Solo).
- They have played all over the UK and had very successful tours of Europe (July 2015) and the USA (April 2017) which have led to plans for future tours being worked on.
- Ruzz has also been honoured by being officially endorsed by Gretsch Guitars (September 2016). In March 2017, he was made the “Featured Guitarist” on the official website for Gretsch Guitars (www.gretsch.com)
- September 2017 saw Ruzz used as the front cover image for UK Rock’n’Roll Magazine with a three page feature on the band.

Description

The Royal Oak is an Award winning real ale pub in the Roman city of Bath. Closed some years ago, this pub seemed destined to die, but it rose from the ashes to become a real beer haven. In 2010 Chris Powell became the Landlord, having been the manager for several years prior to that. It has won several awards in the last few years including 4 Camra Awards.

There are three regular ales from our in house Brewery Ralph's Ruin together with Downton Chimera IPA and guest beers from microbreweries, near and far, In addition to the real Ales there is always an equally interesting range of ciders, perries and bottled British and Belgian beers. And for those who fancy a more conventional brew there is always Budvar, Erdinger and Guinness.

It is safe to say that the independent nature of the Royal Oak is what sets it apart from many of it rivals in Bath. It is the embodiment of what you see is what you get, and more often than not that is a jolly good time.

The pub has sun trap beer garden, is dog and children friendly and has a small car park at the rear. On several evenings during the summer months you will often find some of the locals cooking up a treat on the BBQ in the garden. A strictly bring and cook your own feature.
