Riverfest – John Crampton
Sunday Afternoon
August 26th @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
... ” … John is one of those idiosyncratic British musicians like Lol Coxhill or Evan Parker maybe, who have taken a musical form, in this case blues, and adapted and evolved it into their own peculiar voice … john’s music is essentially blues but replaces the characteristics with his own idioms: shuffling 12 bar blues rhythm are replaced with up tempo 4/4 metronomically measured out on a simple foot pedal … instead of a formulaic flattened guitar chords, john’s playing is an eclectic mix of flamenco, west African ju-ju slide, country and punk … the tin guitar occasionally treated as a percussion instrument augmented by hand claps and foot taps … layered over this is Crampton’s gritty, growled minimal vocal and harmonica playing which again avoids blues stereotypes and harmonically adds to the range of the music creating a “big sound” like an irish string section moving loosely along with the guitars …”

The best pub in shoreham without a doubt! An amazing & lovely welcoming staff, a great array of all kinds of music and a bountiful amount of different drink to choose from!

The Duke of Wellington in Shoreham sounds like it might be a bit of a trek from Brighton but is actually surprisingly easy to get to - the 700 from Churchill Square has a £2 evening explorer ticket! and stops right opposite with return buses til the early hours - or the train station if it's not a strike day! is only 5 mins away - fantastic pub - it's a Dark Star pub that also has loads of guest beers and bottles - you won't be stuck for choice - a burner in the large patio garden - and free live bands every weekend - sight lines aren't ideal but the sound is fine and a lot of bands like playing here - some of their members even seem to have landed themselves a job behind the bar! - this is a lesser known rock and roll establishment that deserves a visit or three - a bit like New Orleans's Tippitina's of old that was located in the middle of a suburb - the dull surroundings make it shine that much brighter.

Just spent most of the weekend at this amazing place, Great bands, Fantastic selection of beers, Lovely garden and super staff, Will be back very soon!

Great pub, and music venue, the quality of the bands is superb and covers a variety of styles, the punters and the drinks on offer are interesting as well. Not your average pub.

Great pub with an amazing vibe. The staff are fun and hard working. The atmosphere fantastic if you like live music or just to chill. Have played there many times and are always feel welcomed. Great beer too.

Excellent beer, interesting people, comfortable surroundings and great music, nothing missing! Oh,they even have bar billiards,that's where the 5th star comes from!

Can't beat this pub. Great beers, free live music, beer fests, nice garden. Worth the cycle from brighton

At the Welly again last night, as ever, a great atmosphere, good crowd, everybody is always friendly. Southwest Side playing, not the normal sound but really really good, catch them when you can, loved them, thanks guys. Inga & Sean x

Absolute gem of a pub. Superb selection of real ales. Great live entertainment and manager Mark has a real passion for beer and his customers. Worth stepping out of the Brighton bubble for. The live entertainment on Sunday was also a real treat. Buzzing so make the effort to go.
