ASHBURTON BLUES FESTIVAL 2009
Welcome to the ASHBURTON BLUES FESTIVAL 2009
!!! THE FABULOUS !!NINE BELOW ZERO are headlining on Saturday May 30
Nine Below Zero - the elite of British rock & roll's live R&B combos who emerged from the London Pub and Club scene of the late 1970's, coinciding with the punk explosion, but the band had more in common with the great Chicago blues heroes of the 1950's than bondage trousers and pogo dancing!
NBZ were the first band to be featured in the classic "Comic Strip" sitcom The Young Ones, belting out a tough version of "Eleven Plus Eleven"(see links)
NBZ are bristling with superb musicianship. Dennis Greaves on vocals and guitar, harmonica player Mark Feltham, and the rhythm section of Gerry McAvoy (bass,vocals) and Brendan O'Neill (drums) who were the engine of the late great RORY GALLAGHER'S band
