A very special afternoon of the blues in tribute to Peter Green from those who knew and worked with him

Supernatural is celebration of the peerless Peter Green, drawing mainly on his glorious heyday with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, and the band he founded – the original Fleetwood Mac, “The Supernatural” conveys the poignancy of Peter’s playing and writing, from “The Stumble” to “Man Of The World”. It includes personal anecdotes from players who knew him, original songs inspired by him, and embraces the early Mac’s sense of fun.

From the moment The 251s hit the stage you’re transported to a place and time where jumpin’ blues, jazz, and swing rules.

Featuring musicians at the top of their game, their energetic shows deliver a host of classic favourites from yesteryear and fresh contemporary originals.

Bad Influence are based in South London and led by singer/rhythm guitarist Val Cowell and lead/slide guitar player Richard Hayes. The band has existed for 25 years and has received much critical acclaim for both their original songs and their strong covers of Tom Petty to Bonnie Raitt to Fleetwood Mac.

The excellent funky-blues fusion outfit features drummer Sam Kelly. They offer a unique sound, a fusion of soul, jazz, and British funk, influenced by New Orleans Second Line.

A red-hot Blues and Roots band, here to challenge the preconceptions of what modern Blues music is all about and to shake up the British Blues Scene.

Joel Fisk & The Breakdown – a new band made from members of Hokie Joint, LaVendore Rogue and Tim Aves & Wolfpack.

The Mustangs are one of the most established and critically-acclaimed blues rock bands in the UK, with a reputation for blistering live shows and ground-breaking original albums. The band has been nominated for four British Blues Awards. 

With their close, dead-on-point harmonies and superb musicianship, Saints & Sinners range from classic gospel to the devil’s Blues.

Paul Rose, born in Newcastle, England in July 1966, is without doubt one of the most unique and talented guitarists in the world today. Fundamentally a rock guitarist, his extraordinary playing style touches on blues, country, jazz and folk, blended together into a style that is entirely his own. Never a gig goes by where audience members don’t comment that Paul is the best guitarist they’ve seen and heard.

Rory Gallagher awarded Paul a Fender ’62 Reissue Strat, with a Vox AC30, in a Fender sponsored competition that invited guitarists from all over the UK to appear in local music shops. Entrants were required to play in front of a video camera using the guitar and amp in question, without any pedals, to be edited and shown to Rory at a later date. Out of 1000 guitarists, Rory selected Paul as the winner and described him as ‘a hot player with a hot future.’ Having also won ‘Guitarist of the Year’ in Guitarist Magazine a couple of years later, it is plainly obvious that Paul is a force to be reckoned with.

Paul has worked as a producer/artist/session guitarist with Ted McKenna (drummer with The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Rory Gallagher, Micheal Schenker, Bobby Womack), Gerry McAvoy (bassist with Rory Gallagher for 25 years), Randy Brecker (The Brecker Brothers), Bill Evans (tenor sax Miles Davis, Mick Jagger, Herbie Hancock, Derek Trucks) & John ‘Rabbit’ Bundrick (Free, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Jon Martyn, Pete Townsend and 30 years with The Who) amongst others.

His last album ‘Double Life’ was recorded at the Steakhouse, Hollywood, CA which Paul co produced with multi Grammy award winner John Wooler (Gary Moore, Johnny Winter, john Lee Hooker, Albert Collins). The album featured Terry Evans on vocals (35 years with Ry Cooder), Richie Morales on drums (Al Demeola, The Brecker Brothers, Mike Stern), Randy Jacobs on rhythm guitar (Elton John, Kris Kristofferson, Was Not Was), Bernard Fowler lead vocals (backing vocals with the Rolling Stones for 25 years) & Sweat Pea Atkinson on vocals (Was Not Was, Lyle Lovett). The album received 5 star reviews across the board, and gig of the month for London during the album tour.

Paul has spent the last 18 months in the New York area playing with his US version of the Paul Rose Trio, featuring Richie Morales (Spyra Gyra, Al Demeola, The Brecker Brothers) and Mark Egan (Pat Metheny Group, David Sanborn, Gil Evans). With a weekly residency at the Bitter End in Greenwich Village and gigs at the Iridium and B. B. Kings.

The UK version features Brendan O’Neill on drums (who we all know about right?) and Pete Stroud (someone else who doesn't need introduction)

It's going to be one great afternoon.

Earl Jackson began playing the guitar at the age of five. Born of Jamaican parents in Lambeth in 1964, Earl was heavily influenced by Gospel. Much of his charisma and on-stage confidence comes from performing before ten thousand people or more at various Gospel events. Earl was invited to join a Rock ‘n’ Roll band in the mid-80’s and the rest is history!
