At La Belle Angèle in Edinburgh: Too Bad Jims with support from Jed Potts & The Hillman Hunters
Friday, 16 April 2027 at La Belle Angèle, Edinburgh
About this event
Too Bad Jims with support from Jed Potts & The Hillman Hunters is scheduled for Friday, 16 April 2027 at La Belle Angèle, Edinburgh.
The Too Bad Jims got their name from the seminal Fat Possum album "Too Bad Jim" by the hugely influential blues musician RL Burnside. The band plays a gritty high-octane mix of North Mississippi Hill Country blues and boogie.
It all initially started as a casual collaboration between two veteran and multiple award-winning musicians, Little Victor and Son Jack Jr. and they shortly after rounded out the trio with the one and only Nick Simonon (Brother of Paul Simonon of The Clash) on drums and things really started cookin’!

Their unique and unusual combination of dual rough and ready vocals, bare-bones electric guitars, slashing bottleneck, and a heavily rhythm-oriented groove, delivers a hypnotic, raw, and earthy sound typical of a North Mississippi juke joint.
After relocating to the London area from Seattle, Washington USA, Son Jack Jr (an avid long-time player of this style of blues) got in touch with Little Victor Mac whom he had befriended on social media since Victor's glory days with Louisiana Red in the late 2000s
The two men never met in person until a couple of years ago but ever since their first jam, they sounded like they’d been playing together since day one. Little Victor (who moved to England a little before Son Jack Jr.) has deep knowledge of this style of music, particularly RL Burnside.

Jed Potts & the Hillman Hunters is an electric blues trio based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Inspired by 1950s and 1960s American and British electric blues, they perform a raw, live-in-the-studio recording style with minimal modern production polish.
