British Blues All Stars(Gb) 29. März bis 6. April 2014 Eine Veranstaltung der ERÖFFNUNGSKONZERTE / HIGHLIGHT BRITISH BLUES ALL STARS (GB) DAVE KELLY, GARY FLETCHER, BERNIE MARSDEN, PICK WITHERS, ZOOT MONEY Samstag, 29. März Kulturfabrik (Stieberstraße 7, 91154 Roth) 20 Uhr VVK 26,40 €/AK 28 €/ZAC 21,40 € Es ist sozusagen eine Weltpremiere: Dave Kelly und Gary Flechter von The Blues Band, Pick Withers, ehemals Schlagzeuger der Dire Straits, Kultfigur Zoot Money (Animals, Peter Green, Alexis Korner) und Bernie Marsden von Whitesnake schlossen sich zu der losen Blues-Rock-Formation British Blues All Stars zusammen und sind gemeinsam zum ersten Mal live zur Eröffnung der Rother Bluestage zu hören. An Erfahrung, Ausdauer und Können mangelt es den fünf Größen der britischen Blues- und Rockszene gewiss nicht. Gitarrist und Sänger Dave Kelly prägt die britische Bluesszene jetzt seit nahezu fünfzig Jahren. In der Hochphase der Beatzeit gründete er eine der ersten Bluesbands, inspiriert von seiner Schwester, der Bluessängerin Jo Ann Kelly. Seine Fähigkeiten als Slidegitarrist nutzten schnell die legendären amerikanischen Blueser wie Muddy Waters , John Lee Hooker oder Howlin’ Wolf , die sich aus Kostengründen für ihre Europatourneen Bands aus englischen Musikern zusammenstellten. 1979 schlossen sich Dave Kelly, Paul Jones, Hughie Flint, Tom McGuinnes und Gary Flechter am Bass zu The Blues Band zusammen, eine „kompetente Combo aus Blues-Akademikern“ (Rolling Stone). Sie waren das Flaggschiff des britischen Bluesrevivals Anfang 1980. Zur oberen Liga gehört auch Trommler Pick Withers , von 1977 bis 1982 Schlagzeuger der legendären Dire Straits , die neben der Gitarrenarbeit von Mark Knopfler insbesondere vom absolut beeindruckenden Schlagzeugsound von Withers geprägt wurden. Keyboarder Zoot Money , eigentlich George Bruno, nach seinem Vorbild, dem Tenorsaxofonisten Zoot Sims benannt, machte ab 1964 mit seiner versierten Livegruppe Big Roll Band in den Londoner Clubs von Pressekontakt und weitere Informationen: Karin Probst, Tel.

Er avancierte zur Kultfigur, schloss sich den Animals an, half bei Peter Green s Erstling, trat mit Alexis Korner auf und genießt einen guten Ruf als Studiomusiker. An der zweiten Gitarre spielt Bernie Marsden . Seine erste Band war Paice/Ashton/Lord ein Ableger der beiden Deep Purple - Mitglieder Jon Lord und Ian Paice . Marsdon gründete zusammen mit dem Deep Purple-Sänger David Coverdale die Band Whitesnake , die weltweit Rockarenen füllte, Festivals beehrte und Top-Ten-Platzierungen machte. Marsden und Micky Moody spielen heute zusammen mit einem Whitesnake- Ableger Company Of Snakes. Bernie Marsdens Spiel wird vielfach mit Eric Clapton verglichen, er gilt heute als einer der besten Peter Green-Schüler.

  • The John Dummer Bandalso Known As John Dummer's Blues Band
    The John Dummer Band also known as John Dummer's Blues Band, John Dummer's Famous Music Band, John Dummer's Oobleedooblee Band and The John Dummer Band Featuring Nick Pickett was a British blues band, of the 1960s and 1970s, was noted for its extensive roster of members, including Graham Bond, Dave Kelly, Jo Ann Kelly, Tony McPhee Bob Hall, John O'Leary and Pick Withers, and for supporting US bluesmen such as Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker on UK tours. The band was formed by drummer John Dummer (born Anthony John Dummer 19 November 1944, Surbiton, Surrey). He formed Lester Square and the G.T's in 1963 with Chris Trengove (alto sax & vocals) and Elton Dean (tenor sax, later of Soft Machine) and toured the UK and Germany for two years. Dummer formed the John Dummer Blues Band in 1965. The original line-up was John Dummer (vocals, harmonica), Roger Pearce (guitar) and Pete Moody (bass)- both recruited from London r'n'b band The Grebbels - plus Bob Hall (piano) and Dave Bidwell (drums). Moody later left to be replaced by Tony Walker (bass) and his sister Regine Walker joined Dummer as a second vocalist. Featured guitarist was Tony 'Top' Topham the original Yardbirds guitarist. The band changed its line-up and began a regular Sunday afternoon residency at the Studio 51 Club in London's West End. Dummer had moved onto drums, and Dave Kelly and Tony McPhee joined as guitarist/vocalists, with Iain "Thump" Thomson (bass) and John O'Leary (harmonica). Dave's sister, Jo-Ann Kelly, was also a regularly featured vocalist at these sessions.

  • ARSC Conference Keynote Presentation: Document Records, Gary Atkinson May 15, 2021 – 3:45-4:45 Pm EDT
    ARSC Conference Keynote Presentation: Document Records, Gary Atkinson May 15, 2021 – 3:45-4:45 pm EDT Gary Atkinson was born in 1956, in Hull, East Yorkshire, England. As a child, his love of music was fired by hearing his father's 78 rpm records, including those by Big Bill Broonzy, Sonny Terry, King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton and many more. Gary was thirteen when his older brother, Michael, came home from The Blue Bell Blues and Folk club in Hull, reporting the excitement of seeing artists such as the guitarist / singer Jo Ann Kelly, (the late sister of The Blues Band's Dave Kelly,) who performed the songs of such ‘Country Blues’ artists including Memphis Minnie and Charley Patton. Around the same time, Michael brought home the album 'Oh Really!' by Mike Cooper, and it proved to be life-changing for Gary. Cooper’s slide guitar playing, his 1920s National steel guitars, and references to names such as Blind Boy Fuller, Mississippi Fred McDowell and Son House sparked Gary's interest and led to him learning to play guitar, and in performing at blues and folk clubs in Hull. By fourteen, he had met some of his first music heroes; Bukka White, Willie Dixon, Walter Horton, Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee, Champion Jack Dupree and the gospel singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe. At eighteen, Gary was invited to contribute to the magazine 'Sailors Delight'; Primarily a “blues record auction magazine” but with Gary's help, it also contained a strong dose of humorous, satirical articles to entertain the readership. At the age of thirty-two he met Gillian, whom he was to marry, and between them they set up a music agency, Spirit Music.
