UPDATE!!

For current gigs and news check out our new BAND PAGE on Facebook!

 

Dr Blue need no introduction to most Yorkshire music fans as being one of the top Blues outfits on the circuit. The band deliver a scorching set, using dynamics, light and shade  to breathe a breath of fresh air into  a wide range of material, while their famous cryptic  humour between songs gives a surreal feeling of being on the set of Reeves and Mortimer...

The band  play at all sizes of venue, from pubs to major Festivals such as The Great British R&B Festival, Colne, the largest Blues Festival in the UK, putting their own unique stamp on a wide range of styles and  performing songs in the vein of Coco Montoya, Albert Collins, John Mayall, Hendrix, Johnny Winter, JJ Cale etc plus original material.

A few quotes:

"Those who think Blues is a collection of plodding, one key 12 bar dirges should pay a visit to Dr Blue. This powerhouse, take-no-prisoners three/four piece outfit have injected some much needed dynamics, humour, variety and sheer  exuberance into the Blues. Add to that their famous sardonic repartee, and abilty to shoot off in any musical direction, from Jazz to Reggae at the drop of a note, a Dr Blue gig is anything but predictable, with the audience barely recovering  from laughing  between numbers before they are hit between the eyes by another superbly played song "

"I was dying to go to the toilet but I daren`t go in case I missed anything!"

"Absolutely bloody excellent!! If you ever get the chance go see this band. If you like real Blues, Jazz, Jimmy, Robert Johnson...GO SEE EM"  (KMM Promotions)

The name dropping bit..

Collectively and/or  individually, the band members have sessioned  on The BBC`s Paul Jones R&B Show and supported top names of the calibre of SLADE, WALTER TROUT, THE BLUES BAND, JOHHNY MARS, PAUL LAMB & THE KINGSNAKES, THE CLIMAX BLUES BAND, OTIS GRAND, MICK PINI, JOE LOUIS WALKER, GEORGIE FAME, CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE and LOUISIANA RED, CARVIN JONES and have been joined onstage during Festival performances by  LARRY GARNER and  CARY & LURRIE BELL. Oh, yes..and DARIUS. Did we mention DARIUS?  (Yes, OK we know!)

And Finally...

You can find out more about the band and associated sites by following the navigation buttons and text links. Some of the content has been carried over from the old site, a dinosaur long overdue for update, but there is a bunch of new stuff for you to look at, from info on individual band members and their gear, to a new interactive forum, shop, music jukebox  and video clips.

Regarding the FORUM..sadly this has had to be disabled for the moment due to the horrendous spam mountain generated by losers desperately trying to sell badly spelled male enhancement drugs. Must be something to do with being called "Dr Blue" !!

FEBRUARY 2008 UPDATE After being on the back burner for a whilette due to establishing their other project ZZ Eliminator, Dr B felt it was high time they revamped their set. Henceforth and forthwith they are currently doing that thang, and are busy rehearsing, and gradually introducing the new stuff. Any suggestions for songs you'd like to hear them Dr Blueize are welcome, but if anyone asks for "Fin Lizzy" they will probably receive the famous Dr Dave salutation.
