ALBERT LEE & HOGAN'S HEROES

Albert Lee, by common consent one of the world’s finest guitar-players, needs no introduction to Country Music & Rock fans.

He has worked with some of the world's top artists, from Emmylou Harris to the Everly Brothers, Dolly Parton to Eric Clapton.

In November 2002, at Eric's request, Albert appeared at the star-studded Memorial Concert for George Harrison at London's Albert Hall, and was featured alongside Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill and Eric Clapton at Eric’s 2007 Crossroads guitar festival.

He is a member of Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, and fronted the band at the O2 arena on the night of the Led Zeppelin reunion concert.

Albert is a Grammy award winning musician, whose talents continue to be in demand by fellow performers the world over.
 

HOGAN’S HEROES

This multi-talented band features some of the top musicians in the UK.

Hogan's Heroes was formed by their namesake Gerry Hogan over 20 years ago, specifically to back Albert. Their first gig took place in 1987 at Gerry’s annual festival for pedal steel guitar.

They have played together on a regular basis since that time, and as a result have become one of the tightest units in music.

DAN BAIRD &

HOMEMADE SIN

Runka, runka, three chords and a cloud of dust. The GEORGIA SATELLITES were one of the most ferocious bands of the 80's and what set them apart from the other 10,000 groups who cranked their amps up to 11 was that their wild riffs and tanked cries came from a band that, from the start, understood it's place in rock tradition and fought hard to solidify it with each recording

"Dan Baird - Saviour of Rock 'n' Roll." - Hooked On Music

"It's been along time since people made albums as fun,
as strong and as satisfying as this one." - Billboard

"If I had to choose just one album of this genre this year,
this would be the one." - Pennyblack

shit kicking passion." - Classic Rock

THE ORIGINAL STEVE GIBBONS BAND

The Steve Gibbons Band were causing a stir across the UK in the 70's when Pete Townshend discovered and mentored them leading to a recording deal with Polydor and touring the World with The Who for 3 years.

They had a UK Top 10 hit with "Tulane" and recorded 4 albums for Polydor and even Roger Daltrey covered "One of the Boys" for his solo album.

Punk & New Wave changed the record industries way of thinking so the original band split, leading to drummer, Bob Lamb becoming a high profile recording producer, notably for UB40, Duran Duran, Ruby Turner, Stephen Tin Tin Duffy & Ocean Colour Scene.

Bob Wilson went on to be MD of the Ruby Turner Band as well as playing guitar for many top Birmingham bands over the past 20 years.

Dave Carroll is a highly respected classical musician who works for the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford upon Avon. He still plays a mean lead guitar!

Trevor Burton, original member of The Move, has fronted his own Trevor Burton Band since the split and is still busy to this day.

Steve Gibbons continues to play his music live across the UK & Europe after over 4 decades in the business covering more miles than NASA's Space Shuttle Program!
