SUMMARY:The MWR&BC Presents THE JAMES OLIVER BAND HALLOWEEN SAT THE MUSE BRECON...
DESCRIPTION:The MWR&BC Presents The return of THE JAMES OLIVER BAND  \non HALLOWEEN SAT live at THE MUSE BRECON… \n \nSimply one of the greatest guitarists around. Also\, a very funny man. Always a good show.\nCan include rockabilly\, blues\, rock’n’roll\, surf / instrumental. pub rock classics…and a few of his own tunes \nThe pairing up of the irrepressible guitar talent of Wales’s very own James Oliver and the bass legend that is Norman Watt-Roy (Ian Dury and the Blockheads / Wilko Johnson et al) alongside drummer\, Mark Kemlo\, will be fully unleashed to tour across the UK and beyond. \nJames Oliver – Guitar and Vocals \nJames Oliver is one of the UK’s busiest acts playing over 300 gigs a year all over the UK\, Europe\, and the USA! \nHe has performed over 3000 gigs and shared the stage with many acts including Albert Lee\, Bill Kirchen\, Deke Leonard\, Greg Koch\, Walter Trout\, Steve Gibbons\, Billy Bremner\, Geraint Watkins\, and many others. In 2020 James won the UK Blues Awards Emerging Artist of the Year and has since been nominated three additional times. James Oliver released two studio albums\, three live albums and his album Twang was #1 on Amazon Blues Charts for three weeks. James is currently working on a new record with legendary producer\, John Leckie. James’ YouTube channel has over 20\,000 subscribers with over 10 million views. \nNorman Watt-Roy – Bass \nNorman kept busy with session work throughout the ’70s and appeared on such albums as Rachel Sweet’s Fool Around and Nick Lowe’s Jesus of Cool\, and Jona Lewie’s number one single “You’ll Always Find Me in the Kitchen at Parties.” He and his brother\, along with Turnbull\, later joined up with Mick Gallagher (guitar) and Charlie Charles (drums)\, working under the name Loving Awareness – that outfit\, in turn\, was engaged for a session with Chaz Jankel and Ian Dury which led to their work on Dury’s New Boots and Panties!! LP\, and eventually became the Blockheads\, Dury’s band. \nThey hit the top of the charts in 1979 with “Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick.” Norman Watt-Roy was now one of the most visible bassists working in England. His time with the Blockheads allowed him to cross paths with Dr. Feelgood’s Wilko Johnson\, which led to his joining Johnson’s own group in the mid-’80s. In between\, he played with the Selecter on Celebrate the Bullet and the Clash on Sandinista!\, with Wreckless Eric’s Captains of Industry\, and he played the original bass part on Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s single “Relax.” During the 21st century\, he has kept busy working with Nick Cave\, in addition to his continued performances with Johnson. \nMark Kemlo – Drums \nMark Kemlo has been drumming for 40 years mainly in the Rock ‘n’ Roll / Rockabilly / Rhythm & Blues & Country music scenes including for the award-winning Welsh Rockabilly / Western swing band The Rimshots. He has toured extensively in the UK\, USA\, Europe and Scandinavia and has had the pleasure of playing drums for many artists within the Rock ‘n’ Roll / Rockabilly genres such as: Narvel Felts\, Wanda Jackson\, Charlie Gracie\, Merril E Moore. Mark became part of The James Oliver Band towards the later part of 2022. \nLive at THE MUSE BRECON. \nHALLOWEEN SAT OCT 31ST 26 \nDoors Open 7.30pm showtime 8pm ish \nhttps://www.jamesoliverband.co.uk/ \nAngus Kings 0786 6000 596 \nBlues related.  \nwww.midwalesrandb.club \nangus@midwalesrandb.club \nhttps://www.facebook.com/midwalesrhythmandblues \nhttps://www.instagram.com/themidwalesrandb/
