A BLUES duo described as “ruggedly durable and timeless” will perform at a city centre music venue later this month.
Paul Jones and Dave Kelly, friends for more than 40 years, will bring their brand of true virtuosity, poise and musical knowledge to Colchester Arts Centre.
The two-piece, consisting of the founding members of The Blues Band, will play original material as well as the work of the genre’s leading artists.
Tracks by everyone from Howling’ Wolf and John Lee Hooker through to Sonny Boy Williamson, for example, will be covered during the January 14 show.
A spokesman for the event said: “As a thrilling singer and harmonica maestro, what Paul Jones doesn’t know about the Blues can be written on a pinhead.
“The same can be said about Europe’s leading bluesman, Dave Kelly. He’s played with them all, including legends such as James Burton and Buddy Guy.
“Superb blues vocals combined with guitar virtuosity have elevated Dave Kelly into the higher echelon of international blues performers, where he truly belongs.
“A live acoustic set by this dynamic duo is an occasion you’ll remember. If you’re a true blues fan, everything you need is here.”
Tickets for the gig, starting at 8pm, cost £27 or £26 for concessions and can be purchased by visiting colchesterartscentre.com.
