We are always delighted to welcome The Customtones to St Harmonica’s Blues Club. Simply one of our favourite bands of all time as well as one of the tightest outfits around the Customtones are built around the unique slide sounds and original material of Britain’s best kept slide secret, Martin Fieber. Known on the scene as the 'Sultan of Slide’ Martin makes all his own guitars under the Customtone label producing a unique and original sound from all of them recreating the authentic ’twang’ sound of the late 1950s and early 1960s. Martin’s version of Santo and Johnny’s Sleepwalk will take you right back with his masterful interpretation and playing. His own self penned songs are wonderful too containing humour along with wry observation of an era while remaining faithful to the blues.
The rhythm section consists of the drumming of Doctor Mick Parker and the bass of Terry Duggan (the bass player’s bassist); they enable Martin to do his thing alongside the keyboard skills of Professor Steve Taylor.
Don’t miss them, they are just magnificent and also make sure you arrive in time to see the support act in the form of the vocals and guitar of Kandur who has been impressing us at our monthly blues jams for some time now.
Support starts at 8.30pm followed by two sets from The Customtones starting just after 9.00pm.
