From The Blues Band - Gary Fletcher
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 ’22.
The writer of The Blues Band classic ‘Greenstuff’, his 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 etc) harmonica Tom Leary (Lindisfarne, Joe Brown, etc) violin, Andy Billups (The Hamsters) bass, Nick Ritchie (Canto, Mud) guitar and Sam Kelly (Tom Robinson, Circulus, The Blues Band) drums
Playing some songs from The Blues Band’s repertoire alongside material from his own albums including the recent and critically acclaimed ‘River Keeps Flowing’ album –
"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.
