  Saturday 3rd March

  Mick Ralph Blues Band

  Doors 8pm Show 9PM

  One of British rock music's most tasteful and understated guitarists, from the same 'school' as Joe Walsh and Mick Ronson where, thankfully, the mission statement is thought, feel and melody rather than speed! Hertfordshire-born Ralphs' was influenced by Berry, Cochran, James Burton and Leslie West and his undoubted guitar skills and ability to 'play for the song' are evident in his work with Mott The Hoople and Bad Company - and he still tours with both.

  between 1969 and 1974, Mott The Hoople created astounding music, fired by Ian Hunter and Mick's blistering guitar, becoming one of the most influential British rock acts of the decade and precursors to punk. Ralphs contributed some of Mott's best material including Rock And Roll Queen, Half Moon Bay, Thunderbuck Ram, Whiskey Women, Midnight Lady, The Moon Upstairs, Moving On, Ready For Love and One Of The Boys.

  Leaving Mott almost on the cusp of major success in '73, Ralphs formed Bad Company with Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke and immediately contributed Can't Get Enough, Good Lovin' Gone Bad and Feel Like Makin' Love. Impressive stuff!!

  Joined here by some of the best-known names on the current blues scene (Sam Kelly drums // Son Maxwell vocals and harmonica // Jim Maving guitar & vocals // Dicky Baldwin bass) to play blues and R'n'B favourites from B.B. King and Otis Rush to Robert Johnson and Sonny Boy Williamson - alongside fresh interpretations of some of Mick's own classic songs.
