For over five decades, CLIMAX BLUES BAND has stood as a cornerstone of British music, crafting an unmistakable sound that blends deep-rooted tradition with progressive musicianship.
Founder member Colin Cooper led Climax Blues Band from the mid-1980s, George Glover has been on the keyboards since 1981 and Lester Hunt on guitar since 1986.
Roy Adams and Neil Simpson joined the band on a permanent basis around 1990 on drums and bass guitar, and in the 90s the band released the live album ?Blues From The Attic? and the ?Big Blues? studio album, The Songs of Willie Dixon.
This band continued to tour around the UK and Europe, and a US Tour until Colin?s very sad untimely death in 2008.
His wishes were for the band to carry on, and it took a while before the right recruits were found in Graham Dee on vocals, and Chris ?Beebe? Aldridge on saxes, both supremely talented and with the level of commitment to continuing the Climax Blues Band journey with passion and style, always acknowledging the history of the band but energy and enthusiasm to move forwards.
The Continental was Camra West Lancashire Pub of the Year 2010 & 2011, with a range of six changing ales, including a house beer especially brewed for us by Marble Beers, artisan ciders, speciality European and US beers both on tap and in bottle, award-winning wines from Byrne’s of Clitheroe, a great range of soft drinks and the best beer garden in town.
Our regional, seasonal kitchen serves up restaurant quality fresh food with daily specials and favourites, and we’re the indie culture venue of choice in Preston with cinema, theatre, music and more on weekly in our arts space.
Situated on the banks of the Ribble, just a brief walk away from the city centre and adjacent to picturesque park land, The Continental is an oasis of fine food, drinks and atmosphere. We hope to see you sometime soon.
