BACK FOR ANOTHER GREAT EVENING OF Pete Harris (vocal, guitar, mandolin) has been active on the Blues scene in the South for over thirty years. With the Bob Pearce Blues Band he gigged extensively in England and Europe recording a "live" album on the prestigious Blue Horizon label. Since leaving Bob's band in the early 90s he has led various incarnations of the Pete Harris Blues Band, recognized as one of the leading blues bands on the South Coast. Pete has performed on stage with many American Blues artistes, notably Phil Guy (brother of Buddy Guy), Lowell Fulson, Lazy Lester,Tabby Thomas, Gene "Mighty Flea" Connors, Mojo Buford (ex Muddy Waters Band), Byther Smith, Carrie and Lurrie Bell and Jerry McCain. He has gigged extensively throughout the UK, Europe and New Zealand and has appeared many times on local and national radio and TV. Hugh Budden (vocal, harmonica) has been performing with Pete since 2007. He has developed a highly individual, virtuosic style which has won him a reputation as one of the UK's leading Blues harp players. A former member of The Producers, three times winners of the "Blues Band of the Year" award, Hugh has gigged throughout the UK, Europe and New Zealand, and has performed with or supported members of Queen, Manfred Mann, The Animals, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, and The Ray Charles Orchestra! |
