“Blues For
Heroes” - the fundraising concert for the HELP for HEROES charity
featuring the best blues musicians in Britain. This promises to be a night to
remember, at the unique and intimate Cadogan Hall, Sloane Square, London as
the cream of British blues musicians get together to say "thank
you" to the Army, Navy and Air Force personnel who have been injured in
the course of service. |

The Artists |

Where to begin to describe the
talent in this band? Paul Jones, Dave
Kelly, Tom McGuinness, Rob Townsend, Gary Fletcher
all have a blues pedigree as long as your arm! Paul Jones is the host of BBC Radio 2’s
highly acclaimed Blues Show. Dave
Kelly is the ultimate blues sideman playing exquisite lines on his guitars
while Tom McGuinness’ fiery Stratocaster fills in
the gaps. Rob and Gary are the rock
solid rhythm section, providing the foot-tappin’
grooves for the rest of the band. |

Rated in the “Top ten British Blues guitarists of all time“ by Guitar & Bass magazine, Schofield is now firmly established as the freshest and most exciting blues guitarist to have emerged from the UK since the iconic names of the sixties. His music is a powerful mix of Blues, rock and New Orleans funk, unlike anything else on the block. He will arrive at the Cadogan Hall after a busy year including a 50 date tour of the USA and major festivals around the world. |

Charismatic, massively talented and
as ruggedly handsome as they come, MOJO magazine rates Siegal as “the cleverest writer and most magnetic performer of Blues in the
UK.” His recordings are consistently highly rated, the latest being a
collaboration with musicians from the north Mississippi hill country. Siegal takes command of the stage in a way very few
artists alive today can match. Sweat, passion, humour,
aggressive slide guitar and a soul-infused voice big enough to fell trees! |
