Event information
Slide guitar supremo Michael Messer with Blockheads legend and multi-instrumentalist Chaz Jankel. It doesn't get better than this!
The pair have known each for 40 years but it wasn't until a phone chat four years ago and the suggestion of a jam that it all came together. And how! The result was the acclaimed "Mostly We Drive" - "an exhilarating album of original songs with mesmerising grooves," said Rough Trade.
" A gem of an album," said At The Barrier. "Copious servings of blues and a healthy chunk of Blockheads-like funk." The careers of these master musicians had gone down different paths after they met in the days when the Blocks and Ian Dury were storming the land. But the pair are beside themselves with excitement about the new project.
"There is a cross-over point where our different musical orientations chime and here it is," says Chaz. "The songs are SO good to play."
"A wonderful experience," says Michael. "We were pulling each other in different directions and hopefully producing good music along the way."
Michael and Chaz are joined by Andy Crowdy on bass.
