Wow! With this triple bill, its hard to
imagine a night crammed with any more high quality rock n roll than
this! Expect an evening filled with guitar based blues-country-rock by
masters of their craft.
Mick Ralphs, the legendary British
blues-rock guitarist with Mott The Hoople and Bad Company brings his
fantastic Blues Band back to The Greystones following their mighty
debut with their Christmas Party last year.
Legendary Nashville guitarist Warner E.
Hodges (Jason & The Scorchers, The Bluefields and Dan Baird and
Homemade Sin) returns to The Greystones with a new trio featuring
Mikael Fassberg (ex Bonafide) and Phil Martini (ex Quireboys). Last
year Warner tore the place up with Sheffield's own Roaming Son as his
house band. Everyone in the room was blown away by the sheer
exuberance of Warner's performance. A real legend.
The Western Sizzlers are a honkin’,
stonkin’ and of course rockin’ country outfit from Atlanta, Georgia
featuring Rick Richards on guitar (Georgia Satellites). We are looking
forward to their debut here at The Greystones and I challenge you not
to be singing along with 'One More Beer', their unique party anthem.
Yee Haw!
You'll be on your knees at the end of
this fantastic night of QUALITY rock n roll in the intimate and sweaty
Backroom at The Greystones. Forget your Christmas do with rubber
turkey and pedestrian flashing light disco, right here is where
Christmas really starts!
"Mick Ralphs is one of Britain’s finest
and probably most understated blues/rock guitarists whose career path
spans almost 5 decades. He is without doubt a true legend and pioneer
of British rock and blues and as he rolls on towards his seventies
shows no sign of abating his enthusiasm or love of the guitar and
blues music. Men like this are few and far between these days and you
won’t always get an opportunity to experience them first hand, so my
advice is take the opportunity while you can." - Rob Goodwin

"there is absolutely no
question that Hodges plays dirty, loud guitar better than many of his
better-known contemporaries. With his heart so obviously in loud rock and
roll and with blazing performances under his wing... to see Warner E.
Hodges on stage is to see him at his best." - Penny Black Music
"For Ol’ Times Sake’
(by The Western Sizzlers) is the perfect title for an album
that glances back over its shoulder to the halcyon days of
pre-corporate independent southern rock and alt. country. It’s that
combination of bar room boogie and a batch of impressive songs that
make this an album well worth checking out." -
Pete Feenstra (Get Ready
to Rock)
