Spring Blues 2008 at
Ventnor Winter Gardens with The Papa George Band
The
fourth annual Spring Blues comes to Ventnor Winter
Gardens, Isle of Wight on Saturday 15th March,
hosting
another top quality line-up for blues lovers.
The Papa George Band will
be headlining the event. Born in 1953, within a stone’s throw of
London’s Tin Pan Alley, Papa George has
dedicated himself to playing live shows, for over 30 years,
around the blues circuits/festivals of the UK, Europe and USA.
One of the UK's finest blues guitarists,
Papa George 's styles range from deep south Delta blues on
National Steel and Resonator guitars
to full on blues rock boogie - what the
Fender Strat is all about!
Supported by supremely talented sidemen Pete Stroud (Peter
Green Splinter Group / Roger Chapman) on bass and Tom Compton
(Johnny Winter) on drums, this three piece is
as solid and vibrant as you can get, from hard driving R&B to laid
back foot stompin' delta blues.
"....highly regarded, both here and in the US and Europe, for the
gritty passion of his voice and his finesse on the blues frets..."
Paul Jones BBC Radio2
Also on the bill are one of the Island's top
blues outfits, The Amen Boogie
Blues Band, who have built up
a strong set
of Electric Chicago and Delta blues, recently
having supported mainstream blues artistes such as Ian Siegal, Errol
Linton and Eugene
'Hideaway' Bridges. www.myspace.com/amenboogiebluesband
Damien Paul will open the
evening with some fine acoustic blues, ably assisted by Stuart
Woodley on Double Bass.
Saturday
15th March 2008. Doors 7.30pm
