The Crawdaddy Club Richmond is very pleased to welcome our APRIL band, CONNOLLY HAYES on Friday 19th April with doors opening at 7.30pm and music from 8.15.

Connolly Hayes are a 'new' band, already creating high expectations and excitement within, and beyond, the blues/rock/soul community, largely on the reputations of the principal members.
Young Jess Hayes is a blues-fuelled, soulful singer/songwriter with a powerhouse of a voice. She emerged onto the South London scene as a teenager having been raised on the classic sounds of Stevie Nicks, Bad Company, Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat etc by her musician parents, tagging along to their gigs every weekend and catching 'the bug'.
Jess quickly gained a reputation amongst the blues and soul cognoscenti, as well as being the 'go to' singer of choice for (ex Mud member and noted songwriter, not least for Kylie's mega hit 'Can't Get You Out of My Head'), Rob Davis, with whom she has enjoyed a number of multimillion streaming 'hits'. She has also recently enjoyed some prime-time exposure on ITV's 'The Voice', turning all 4 chairs. More importantly though, Jess is looking to find her own 'voice' as a songwriter with this new project, with her friend Frankie Connolly, who himself has gained a stellar reputation as both a great singer and astonishing guitar player, who has wowed crowds wherever he has played, including Ronnie Scotts plus a number of festivals including internationally.

Connolly Hayes aren?t just a duo though, they are a fully-fledged band with Richard Clarke, another noted vocalist/guitarist alongside Beau Barnard on bass and Andy Wilder on drums. The ensemble have recently recorded their debut EP, set for 2024 release and have already attracted interest and bookings for live work based on the reputation and pedigree of the band members alone. Hold tight, it should be quite a ride!

Advance tickets £12. Tickets = £15 on the door. A CASHLESS bar will be open all through. Please bring CASH for on the door sales and merchandise.

Plenty of parking on site. You can also reach us easily via public transport: 65 bus from Ealing or Richmond Station and down to the main roundabout and look for signs to the swimming baths.
