'BROTHERS IN THE BLUES'

Miller Anderson is a superb guitarist whose 42-year-long career has included all the main rock blues names in the UK.
He made his pro debut in 1965 with Freddy Fingers lee with Ian Hunter (Mott The Hoople.
Miller joined the hugely popular Keef Hartley Band recording 5 albums including the celebrated ?Overdog? and appeared at the groundbreaking 1969 ?Woodstock? Festival where only a managerial dispute stopped the band from being on the acclaimed film.

Miller subsequently teamed up with Kim Simmons in Savoy Brown, before joining Stan Webb for two projects, the one-off project ? the three guitar line-up of ?Broken Glass? ? (recently reissued on Mystic records) with Stan and Robbie Blunt. He subsequently accepted an invitation to join Chicken Shack before spending the next few years employed as an in-demand session guitarist with a wide range of artists from Leslie West?s Mountain (?Go For Your Life), Blood Sweat & Tears, Mick Taylor, Roger Chapman to Donovan and T Rex!!.

The last 20 years have seen Miller become the core member of the still-touring Spencer Davis Group with whom he has written, recorded, and sung.

In 1999 Miller became the guest guitarist with Deep Purple appearing on the ?Live Albert Hall? CD and DVD.
More recently Miller has cut a new album with Chris Farlowe and tours on the back of a brand new solo ?Chameleon? with his band that comprises Kris Gray (Edgar Broughton band/Chris Farlowe); Paul Burgess (10cc) and top German multi-instrumentalist player Frank Tischer on keys.
The special set will include material from the new album, the recent ?Bluesheart? CD, and of course the legendary Keep Hartley band!
Don?t miss this true unsung hero of the British rock & blues who?s who.

'MIDNIGHT CANNONBALL'

A trio formed around a shared love of jazzy blues and rock n roll

Material: ranges from early blues through Dr. Feelgood to Dave Brubeck and Grant Green not forgetting their own original material.

Comprises: guitar/vocal; double bass; drums.

Personnel: Neil Grove (guitar/vocal). By any standards, an exceptionally gifted guitarist. Scintillating on stage, and with a singing voice that comes up from his boots. Also happens to be a horse whisperer !

       Greg Smith (double bass). Melodic, hard driving and always improvisational. His playing style is the perfect foil for Groves? ebullient guitar work.

        Jez Palmer (drums). The ?glue? for the trio. Perfect groove in all styles and genres. A bit on the serious side, but it?s hoped that he might smile one of these days.

Don?t miss them!
