This is the fourth line up of 491Blues since it's inception in 2004 and comprises some of the finest bluesmen around.
Terry ( Hooch ) Skipper joined us on lead vocals. Hooch has a great blues voice and has had an illustrious career as a vocalist, much of it as an Elvis impersonator. Keith ( Dusty ) Miller was our replacement bass guitarist. Dusty also had a famed early career having played with "Van Morrison and Them" during the 60's when he lived in Belfast. In the late 60's, he joined 'Buster' a band that played support to several major artists including "Manfred Mann," "Sounds Incorporated" and "Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers."
Andy ( Soul man ) Sykes joined us on lead guitar. Soul man was again, a muso with an excellent pedigree. Soul man's first gig was as "P J Proby's" guitarist and musical director and he went on to work with "Trevor Horn," the "Four Tops," the "Detroit Emeralds" and a reincarnation of "Amen Corner," to name but a few.
These additions along with original members Harry ( blind boy ) Bartlett on blues harp and founder Tony ( Shooz ) Hills on drums combine to form a most formidable Blues ensemble offering their own take on covers made famous by such artistes as Elmore James,Robert Johnson,Muddy Waters,John Lee Hooker,BB King to name but a few.
So if your Mojo's working and you're a Hoochie coochie child,we'll look forward to seeing you at our gigs.
Yours in blues
