In 1980, he began a club called Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues on a Thursday night in Soho, that still runs today! It has had only one venue changes and is London’s longest running weekly club night. The names that have graced the tiny club are as famous as those he grew up in the presence of. Beatles members are from his childhood but the likes of Rico Rodriguez and The Pogues amongst many others are part of the club’s history.
Gaz Mayall would be busy enough organizing that, but he has also spent years DJing, fronting his own band the Trojans, who play a celtic brand of ska and he more recently has put his name to two Trojan Records releases. The first one is Gaz Mayall presents Top Ska! and is a fantastic selection of tracks, many rare, from his own collection. The second and more recent album, Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues Club Classics is a broader ranging album with songs from many genres, popular at his club over the years. Two top CDs.
Gaz’s Rockin’ Blues is held every Thursday at St Moritz on the famous Wardour St, London.
