SUMMARY:Guitarist\, vocalist\, raconteur Dave Peabody live at Kensington Church in Brecon...
DESCRIPTION:After a very successful trip to Brecon with Mark Hummel and Bob Hall. \nOne of the Uk’s finest musicians DAVE PEABODY returns to Brecon (Solo)  \nSIXTY YEARS ON THE ROAD… \n \nGuitarist\, vocalist\, raconteur Dave Peabody began performing in the mid ‘60’s during the heyday of the great British blues boom… and has now been a gigging musician for over 60 years. \nAs a solo acoustic artist Dave is recognised as specialist in early country blues and he’s achieved the accolade of being voted “Acoustic Blues Artist of the Year” three times by the British Blues Connection and Blues In Britain Magazine. \n \nDave’s first group was the Honest John Three. \nThe band won the National Jug Band contest in 1966 (one of the judges was Jo Ann Kelly) \nFrom 1967 to 1970 Dave moved from London to Plymouth\, Devon to attend Plymouth College of Art. He soon formed the Pongo Flossy Goodtime Merger\, a goodtime band that quickly became popular locally. With other members of the group\, Dave organised the Sincerity Hall Folk and Blues Club which booked many of the scenes name folk acts (Ralph McTell\, The Strawbs\, etc.) and British blues musicians such as Jo Ann Kelly\, Mike Cooper\, alongside American bluesmen Arthur “Big Boy Crudup and Juke Boy Bonner \nOn returning to London Dave formed Tight Like That. \nThey recorded an album (under an assumed name) for the French label Disques Vogue in 1971. \nThe following year they recorded their well thought of album Hokum for the Village Thing label. When Tight Like That wound up operations (around 1974) Dave\, for the rest of the decade played as the duo Peabody & McNulty with the band’s tea-chest bass player Hugh McNulty. The pair performed all around the UK’s folk club scene as well making incursions into Europe\, especially Belgium. When Hugh finally decided to retire his tea-chest bass\, Dave began a long association with blues and boogie pianist Bob Hall. Dave has also gigged with pianists Diz Watson and Colin Earl\, with the guitar players Gypsy Dave Smith and Steve Williams\, and with the harmonica players \nRob Mason\, Brendan Power and Alan Glen. \nFor 15 years (1996 – 2011) Dave fronted the electric King Earl Boogie Band as their vocalist and guitarist. The 5-piece band\, whose other members also included Mungo Jerry pianist Colin Earl and original Status Quo drummer John Coghlan\, played numerous festivals including Colne’s Great British R’n’B Festival and Havant’s Blues at The Fort. \nDave has appeared on over 50 albums including 11 albums under his own name\, \n4 with Bob Hall\, and 2 with the King Earl Boogie Band. The album Some of These Days (released March 2019) is a joint collaboration with classically trained violinist Regina Mudrich\, who is originally from East Germany. He’s performed at clubs and festivals in over 20 different countries (including the USA) making him one of the most experienced and seasoned British blues men performing today. Dave has forged connections with many American blues artists including Mississippi legend Honeyboy Edwards and Grammy award winning harmonica player Charlie Musselwhite\, accompanying them on British and European tours. Over the years\, Dave has played on stage with a host of other blues men including Sonny Terry\, Memphis Slim\, Louisiana Red\, Big Joe Duskin\, Big Boy Henry\, Chicago Bob Nelson\, Neal Pattman\, Dave Van Ronk\, John Hammond Jnr. and\, most recently\, Mark Hummel. \n“Dave Peabody enhanced his reputation as one of our most popular acoustic artists and raconteurs with a selection by the likes of the Memphis Jug Band\, Tommy Johnson\, Oscar “Buddy” Woods and Furry Lewis. plus a handful of his own compositions. There’s only one way to sum up this special evening – this was the Blues!”   (Blueprint online review of  a 100 Club gig 19/11/08) \nDoors 7pm / showtime 7.30pm with SGA (TBC) / 8.30pm Dave Peabody  \nFor more details on the musical adventure please PM Angus \nAngus Kings 0786 6000 596 \nBlues related.  \nwww.midwalesrandb.club \nangus@midwalesrandb.club \nhttps://www.facebook.com/midwalesrhythmandblues \nhttps://www.instagram.com/themidwalesrandb/ \nDave Peabody links… \nhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF1cZ75u40FMQ-ueYuneMPg
