This will be the last show that Basingstoke's Mr Blues, Rex Everett, is organising for the Basingstoke Blues Club.
He is stepping aside from the club after dedicating more than three decades to organising countless blues gigs and raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charities.
The 75-year-old co-founder of the club that has been a prominent fixture in the town since 1991 has made the difficult decision due to health reasons.
Basingstoke bass player Gareth Goodwin is taking over the reins of the organisation of gigs.
