THE AVERAGE BLUES BAND

( Mike Court , Clive Robins, Ian Gilbert )
Enthusiastic and up-beat electric blues from a talented 4-piece who are out to enjoy the performance
as much as the audience - appreciate the music or just “dance the blues away”

Biogs
Mike played guitars in a Midlands based band for 14 years, supporting many of the big names of the
1970’s and traveling all over the country. After “retiring” from live performance he says he was “sucked
back in” after various open mike appearances in the late 1990s.How many different guitars can one person use on stage?

Clive was a well known figure in Devon based bands in the late 1960/70 s before giving it all up for college and a career. He was also drawn back into music with the resurgence of open mike venues in the area. Clive leads the rock and roll lifestyle to the full - note the flask of coffee and bottles of water next to his amp….

Ian started playing piano in Oxford pubs at the age of 15, then progressing through New Orleans and jazz genres with various bands before moving to North Devon. After performing solo gigs for a while before joining the band ,Ian was looking for a more varied musical role –so we now let him have two keyboards on stage … Ian has an ambition to play piano in every country in the world and so far has notched up 12 - but hasn’t given up yet.

The boys are currently gigging with a selection of well known local drummers until a suitable full timer can be persuaded/conned or otherwise captured for the band !

Songs from the likes of JJ Cale, Peter Green, Keb Mo, Clapton and Mayall as well as the more traditional tunes, all get THE AVERAGE BLUES BAND treatment - to give you a red hot, up beat performance, guaranteed to get you up out of your seats and dancing the night away.
