Blues At The Tropic

16/10/2026

The weekend approaches and a quick reminder of this Sunday's Blues At The Tropic gig with Big Gilson & Blues Dynamite and now guitarist Matt Edwards will be joining the band on some numbers.

Matt's band played Blues At The Tropic last year and went down a storm so catch these two guitarists together only at The Tropic and only for one night. Please reserve now if you haven't already done so: https://www.tropicatruislip.co.uk/big-gilson-blues-dynamite or email me: [email protected]

The Big Gilson & Blues Dynamite Back2Blues UK tour as been going superbly and getting a great reaction. The band have had some notable gigs e.g The Bear Club in Luton with it's cool vibe and down in Ashburton, Devon playing an old chapel which has been turned into an arts centre.

I'm sure the last gig of the tour this Sunday will also be one to remember. On Monday I take Gilson to Heathrow airport and he'll be flying back to the warmer climate of Brazil where he has two gigs in St Paolo with his Big Allanbik band playing to large crowds each night. Let's give him a good send off.

BLUES AT THE TROPIC - SUNDAY 18TH OCTOBER - BIG GILSON & BLUES DYNAMITE BACK2BLUES UK TOUR
Here's a review and picture from the recent Big Gilson Bear Club gig by Ron 'Ziroby' Romero from Austin, Texas.
"Tonight is blues, and it touches something deep within my soul. There's something about the blues that just feels right. Tonight's band really gets the blues, and it's a wonderful thing.The drums build that familiar foundation, that call and response. The bass is the heartbeat of the being that is the music. The keys lay a melody on top, like whipped cream on a banana split. And the guitar, with the nimble fingers, dances among the notes, weaving riffs and runs. This is the blues"
