Squeeze Gut Alley

Formed out of the Deco5 Whitstable Blues Jam nights in 2015, Squeeze Gut Alley have become a staple of the Kent live music scene, delivering a gritty blend of blues, soul, and rock’n’roll with a vintage edge and a local heartbeat. Based in Whitstable, the four-piece band brings together seasoned players with a shared love for groove, grit, and good times.

Their name — a nod to the famously narrow alleyways of old Whitstable — reflects their down-to-earth style and tight-knit chemistry. Whether they’re tearing through a blues standard or laying into a soul classic, their sets are packed with energy, character, and a deep respect for the music’s roots.

They’re regulars at venues like The Smack in Whitstable, The Rising Sun in Herne Bay, Quayside, and The Plough Inn in Swalecliffe, where their live shows draw loyal crowds and new fans alike. Expect foot-stomping rhythms, smoky vocals, and a setlist that spans decades of soul-drenched rock history.
