June's Bullfrog Blues Club see the return of the wonderful Steve Payne, whoes played a number of excellent concerts for us over the years, this accompanied by the awesome harmonica play of Belfasts, Bill Boy Miskimmim. On harmonica is Billy Boy Miskimmin, from Belfast. In 1995 he was headhunted by Nine Below Zero, one of the key British blues bands of the era. In 2003 the legendary U.K band The Yardbirds (who featured Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck in their lineups!) recruited Billy Boy, and his soloing soon became one of the band's most distinctive features. The album "Live At BB King Blues Club" shows how integral his playing had become to the band's sound. With The Yardbirds Billy Boy became part of rock and blues aristocracy, playing with legends like BB King and The Doors and earning accolades not only from Alice Cooper but from Jimmy Page, Scotty Moore and others. He's also played sessions for Stiff Little Fingers, Marc Almond and others. http://www.mercylounge.co.uk/biography/ Variously described as one of the UK's most unique and versatile guitarists, Steve Payne is also feted as a talented and non-predictable singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, wordsmith and story-teller whose compositions cross the musical boundaries from Blues to Folk to Contemporary Roots. http://www.digitdocrecords.com/acatalog/About_Steve_Payne.html Bill Boy Miskimmim, Steve Payne, Paul Hobday Thursday June 2nd The Bullfrog Blues Club @ The Dockyard Club Onslow Road, Southsea PO5 2NH Tickets £8.00 adv £10.00 door http://webplus.barkingspider.abelgratis.com/tickets
