Live review - Emsworth Blues Club Club’s Facebook Page 1st July 2026

An unforgettable evening Upstairs at Raps with Zoe Schwarz and Rob Koral, where world-class musicianship met warm, laugh-out-loud banter. Their original My Handsome Man was heartfelt and beautifully delivered, while inspired takes on Voodoo Woman, Paint It Black and A Whiter Shade of Pale showcased their effortless versatility. The intimate setting made every note feel personal, and the easy chemistry between Zoe and Rob had the audience smiling as much as applauding. A perfect blend of blues, storytelling and humour—proof that the best gigs don't need a big stage, just exceptional talent
