The John Mayall Project at The Guinness Blues Cafe
For the first time, The John Mayall Project appeared at The Guinness Blues Cafe in The Deer's Head Music Hall on Saturday afternoon!
Described as being:- "Formed to pay tribute to to the father of British blues John Mayall and his band the Bluesbreakers and the many guitarists who made their journey through this iconic band, Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Gary Moore to name a few." - this highlights the reasons why the Blues Cafe was started some 5 years ago this weekend!
Kicking off the first half of the gig with "The Stumble" and "You Don't Love Me" from 1967, the band then played all 12 songs from the 1966 album Blues Breakers, (better known as The Beano Album), as they appeared on the original album!
The second half of the gig showcased songs from some of the greats who had played with Mayall over the years, including Peter Green, Eric Clapton and Gary Moore, just to mention a few, and included "Presence Of The Lord", "Long Grey Mare", "Pretty Woman" along with a few numbers from Cream, finishing with "Sunshine Of Your Love" and "Dust My Blues".
The John Mayall Project is:-
David Taylor - vocals/harp
Gordon Thompson - vocals/keys

The John Mayall Project
In 1966, John Mayall and his band, The Bluesbreakers, released their debut studio album which became known as ‘The Beano Album’. The album pioneered a guitar-dominated UK blues rock sound and helped launch the careers of the legendary guitarist Eric Clapton and others. The John Mayall Project celebrates the 60th anniversary of this iconic album and is delighted to bring this fabulous collection of songs to The Market Place Theatre together with a selection of other great British blues and blues rock songs from many of the great guitarists who shared the stage with Mayall over the years.
