The Corn Hall Diss is pleased to welcome Dave Kelly, Bob Hall and Hilary Blythe.

 

Friends since they were neighbours in the sixties, England's premier blues vocalist and guitarist Dave Kelly (of the Blues Band) and blues and boogie pianist and mandolinist Bob Hall have had illustrious careers and won many awards for their music.

 

Dave started his music career backing performers such as Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker, and has played with Buddy Guy, Son House & Muddy Waters. Bob Hall, singer, pianist and songwriter, is a founder member of The Groundhogs and Savoy Brown. Bob has also accompanied Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker and a host of blues stars including Little Walter, Lightnin' Slim and Homesick James.

 

Throughout the years Dave and Bob have been recorded on each other’s songs, played in bands together and collaborated on several critically acclaimed song-writing projects.

 

Hilary Blythe joins the duo for their reunion on bass and guitar; an emotive singer of classic folk blues in her own right.

 

Expect an evening of great blues including original tunes, funny stories and a little bit of country.

 

Seating for this show is sold as unallocated
