SUMMARY:Geraint Watkins & The Mosquitoes
DESCRIPTION:Geraint Watkins & The Mosquitoes \n \nWith a brand new 10” vinyl album entitled “Here and There” hot off the presses in September 2024\, this is a welcome return to the venue for Geraint Watkins and the Mosquitoes – which these days is an exciting quartet including Oliver Darling (guitar/vocals)\, Paul Riley (bass)\, Malcolm Mills (drums). \nFor so many years a keystone of the bands of Nick Lowe\, Van Morrison\, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings\, Dave Edmunds and countless more\, Watkins is also a revered creator of his own sublime music\, much of which has already been perfectly captured in a handful of solo albums. These days\, he performs this material with his band – The Mosquitoes. \nBob Dylan – proclaimed himself a Watkins fan by playing two solo cuts on his Theme Time Radio Hour saying (without a hint of irony) that “Geraint Watkins is my favourite English piano player.” \nWatkins was a member of noted British bands Juice on the Loose and Red Beans & Rice and following a move to London with the latter\, he soon found himself on the “Be Stiff Route 78” tour as part of Micky Jupp’s band. Shortly afterwards in 1979\, Andy Fairweather Low produced Watkins’ first album for the Vertigo label. Session work for producer Stuart Colman followed which led to him joining Shakin’ Stevens’ band before going on to record and play live with Dave Edmunds and many others including Eric Clapton\, Paul McCartney\, Mark Knopfler\, Dr. Feelgood\, Rory Gallagher\, The Blues Band\, The Fabulous Thunderbirds\, Stray Cats\, Carl Perkins\, John Wesley Harding\, Tom Jones\, Roger Daltrey and John Martyn. In addition to his touring and recording with Nick Lowe\, Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings and Van Morrison\, he somehow managed to keep The Balham Alligators stomping for fifteen years too. \nMosquitoes on Facebook\nGeraint on Facebook\nWebsite

SUMMARY:Toby Walker
DESCRIPTION:Toby Walker \nReturning to Blues Bar Tring\, acoustic guitar supremo from the USA\,  Toby Walker! \n \nInternationally and nationally acclaimed Toby Walker from the USA has been hailed as an award winning\, roots music fingerstyle guitar virtuoso and songwriter.  Blending the styles of blues\, ragtime\, country\, bluegrass and old-time jazz\, Toby Walker has developed his own style and as such\, received numerous awards\, including being the 1st place recipient of the International Blues Challenge Award in Memphis and the New York Music Award for best instrumental CD. Toby Walker has also been inducted into the New York Blues Hall Of Fame. His show includes some amusing songs and great stories along with guitar playing that captivates audiences. \n“If he doesn’t get them with his phenomenal guitar playing or catchy songs\, he gets them with his wonderful stories. True entertainers have an engaging spirit that puts a smile on your face. Arlo Guthrie has it. David Bromberg has it. And so does Toby. ”  John Platt – WFUV \n“Flat out… you have to hear this great musician… I’m blown away”  Jorma Kaukonen of Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane \n“A fingerpicking guitar virtuoso”  Happy Traum \n“Not only can Toby play all styles of the blues\, but he’s a remarkable story-teller as well. And you’ll be surprised by what else he’ll pull out of his hat to please his audiences. He may come out with an arrangement of ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’ or ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ followed by an Irish fiddle tune medley (on guitar)\, a couple of rousing singalongs and top it all off with his arrangement of the Allman Brothers tune ‘Little Martha\,’ Whipping Post’ or even a traditional bluegrass tune.” He takes the audience on one heck of a ride and leaves them smiling all the way home!!”  John Sheridan – The Sunday Times. \nWebsite
