Paul Jones and Dave Kelly

About this event

The Blues Band are now retiring from touring - but their two lead vocalists will continue with their Acoustic Duo concerts.

Founder members of The Blues Band, Paul Jones and Dave Kelly’s tangled and colourful roots go way back into the true undergrowth of the tradition. As well as their own original material, they not only know and perform the work of the greats, ranging from Howlin’ Wolf, 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 thrilling singer and harmonica maestro, what Paul Jones doesn’t know about the Blues can be written on a pinhead. The same can be said about Europe’s leading bluesman, Dave Kelly. Superb blues vocals combined with guitar virtuosity have elevated Dave Kelly into the higher echelon of international blues performers.

A live acoustic set by this dynamic duo is an occasion you’ll remember. If you’re a true Blues fan, everything you need is here.
