Review of debut gig at Grain Barge supporting Steve Payne by Venue Magazine:
The wood-lined intimacy of this relatively new live music venue is making it increasingly popular, with this intriguing billing of a musician who has been around (seemingly) for ever and a band playing its debut performance drawing a packed house. Caroline Tarbuck, who fronts Able Mable, has a wonderfully strong voice, ideally suited to the mix of slow and classic blues the band play. First night nerves showed a little, but the music was faultless and it looks as if Bristol has gained another excellent blues-based band and female singer.’…..(Tony Slinger)

“Able Mable are fronted by the superb vocals of Caroline Tarbuck and are one of the best new blues bands to emerge on the Bristol scene”

“Fronted by the powerful and emotive vocals of Caroline Tarbuck, Able Mable are a great edition to the Bristol Music circuit and their blues flavoured repertoire should take them a long way”
