Crosstown Concerts Presents:
John Blek @ The Louisiana Bristol

John Blek live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Saturday, 21st February 2026.

With support from Small Town Jones

Blek is an artist with a story to tell. With his timeless emotive voice and layered  fingerstyle guitar you will be transported from scene to scene as his expansive songbook unfolds. 

John Blek is Cork City born and bred but is currently residing in north Co.Cork. His parents, both of whom were primary school teachers, had to bribe him to stay in school after his 16th birthday with the promise of a new guitar on the completion of his final exams. Such was John’s belief in his ability and chosen path in life that he was willing to forgo the more traditional education sought by his peers. This conviction carries through to his art. His music is written from such a personal place that it creates the sense that he grew up with these songs, that they are in his blood – and in a way he did, they are his  thoughts, his words, his sounds and his stories. Though not all autobiographical, like many of the great painters, an element of the artist exists in every portrait.

Show starts at 7:00pm.
