Event Description:
Paul Jones, Dave Kelly and Tom McGuinness and Gary Fletcher formed The Blues Band back in 1979. They finally parked the tour bus in Sept 2022. Gary’s own individual work had run in parallel with The Blues Band for some years, so now was his opportunity to focus on his music along with the very fine musicians who make up the GFB.
They are Alan Glen (Yardbirds, Nine Below Zero) harmonica Tom Leary (Lindisfarne, Joe Brown) violin, mandolin, Nick Ritchie (Canto, Mud) guitar, vocals, Sam Kelly (Tom Robinson, Circulus, The Blues Band) drums and Gary Fletcher (The Blues Band) Vocals, guitar, slide, banjo.
Songs from The Blues Band’s repertoire, such as Greenstuff, So Lonely, Flatfoot Sam, feature alongside his songs from his own albums including the recent critically acclaimed River Keeps Flowing album.
“If he appears locally to you, in either solo or band format, get along to see him as you are in for a night of supreme musicianship and a damn fine night of live music.” Jason Ritchie, Get Ready To Rock
“Believe me if you’re going to buy one album this year you won’t better this one.” Pete Clack for Amazon.
“One of this year’s finest albums, without a doubt.” Roy Bainton for Blues In Britain.
