Info
Paul Jones & Dave Kelly from The Blues Band
The Blues Band are now retiring from touring, but their two lead vocalists will continue with their acoustic duo concerts.
Ruggedly durable and timeless, the blues is perhaps more popular today than it has ever been. Young musicians still cut their teeth on its enticing 12-bar appeal, but its real rewards, virtuosity, poise and knowledge only come with age.
Founder members of The Blues Band, Paul Jones and Dave Kelly’s tangled and colourful roots go back into the true undergrowth of the tradition. As well as their own original material, they know and perform the work of the greats, ranging from Howlin’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker through to Sonny Boy Williamson. They actually played alongside them and enjoyed their friendship.
After over a quarter century as presenter of his BBC Radio 2 R&B show, as a singer and harmonica player, what Paul Jones does not know about the blues can be written on a pinhead. The same can be said about Dave Kelly. He has played with many, including legends such as James Burton and Buddy Guy.
Blues vocals combined with guitar virtuosity have elevated Dave Kelly into the higher echelon of international blues performers.
A live acoustic set by this duo is an occasion you will remember. If you are a blues fan, everything you need is here.
