The Blues Band
Formed in 1979 by five seasoned musicians, The Blues Band are celebrating 35 glorious years as Britain and Europe's leading exponents of one of the greatest musical traditions of all time. It began back then with a phone call by Paul Jones, actor, singer, musician and radio presenter, no stranger to the pop charts throughout the 1960s as front man for the hugely successful Manfred Mann. His fellow Manfred Tom McGuinness shared the same love of the music  he'd started out with Eric Clapton in the Roosters. And they knew the right people to make their idea for a band 'just to play the blues' work; they brought in legendary slide guitar man and singer Dave Kelly, who brought along a talented fellow musician, bassist Gary Fletcher. With the addition of Tom's chart-topping partner from McGuinness Flint, drummer Hughie Flint, (ex-John Mayall's Blues Breakers), that first line-up stormed the post-punk music scene, and contrary to their expectations, they soon left the pub scene behind for an international career playing the music they loved. After two and a half years, Hughie Flint left due to the pressures of touring. His place was admirably filled by another fine drummer, Rob Townsend, a member of one of Britain's most eclectic, legendary outfits, Family.

What a band, what a night in prospect!!
