The Academy was reported to be gaining a reputation as the top blues venue in the area by this time.
In November 2009, London-based The Cadillac Kings came to The Academy: billed as firm favourites on the blues and jump-jive scene the band features six of the UK's top blues and roots players inspired by the sounds and styles of the 40s and 50s.
