Description

Dave Kelly is a true legend of British Blues, having been a leading light on the scene since becoming lead singer and guitarist with the John Dummer Blues Band in the late 1960's. Dave has worked with many of his heroes, including John Lee Hooker, Son House and Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, Freddie King, Lowell Fulson, The Allman Brothers Band, Bill Payne, James Burton and Albert Lee. Probably one of the most auspicious pedigrees of any British Blues artist. In 1979, he was a founding member of The Blues Band with Tom McGuinness, Paul Jones and Hughie Flint, and the band released more than 20 albums.

Dave continues to work with his own Dave Kelly Band when time permits. Also for about the past 25 years he and Paul Jones have toured as an acoustic duo. He does similar tours with Scottish soul queen Maggie Bell. Now in his 70's, Dave shows now sign of slowing down nor any intention of retiring. He says: ?Why should I retire? ? I get paid for my hobby!?

Dave's latest album, The Sun on My Face, was released in November 2023.
