STAN WEBB'S CHICKEN SHACK. The blues
guitar legend is back!! Stan Webb is regarded by many
as one of the great unsung heroes of British blues music. Some say his
success should have surpassed that of Clapton. The band had two chart hits
in 1969 with I’d Rather Go Blind (with Christine Perfect on vocals)
and Tears in The Wind. Stan Webb remains a much respected guitarist
and vocalist whose contribution to early British blues music continues to
gain recognition. He played a blinding set at The Eel Pie Club last year
and we are delighted to welcome him back to the Club. The current line-up
of his band is Stan on guitar/vocals, Gary Davis on guitar, Jim Rudge on
bass, and Mick Jones on drums. £12 (£10 Members). BUY NOW! |
