T-Bone Walker Centenary Tour

Jump Blues
Texas Blues
Electric Blues
or Boogie Woogie
It doesn’t matter what genre you file him under, the fact is the mighty T-​Bone Walker was the first blues musician to play an electric guitar. Mentored by Blind Lemon Jefferson, he played with some of the great musicians of the 50s and 60s and went on to inspire countless cats including B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Jimi Hendrix. Though he died in 1975, T-Bone’s music lives on with contemporary blues and jazz musicians regularly covering songs like ‘Mean Old World’ and ‘Call It Stormy Monday’.
To mark T-Bone’s centenary, blues trio Denny Llett, Andy Williamson and Ben Cummings will be playing a selection of his infectious blues, jazz and jive riffs from 10 — 16 August 2010. Tickets cost £10 /​£8 and the show starts at 11pm at Pleasance at Ghillie Dhu.
Watch and weep, my friends:
