  • Help Me by Sonny Boy Williamson II performed here by Billy Branch, Sugar Blue, Charlie Musselwhite, Giles Robson and TC (Tom Cocks) at The Great British R&B Festival, Colne Harp Explosion 2013.
    Colne Harp Explosion
    Saturday, 24th August - 19.30 to 00.15 An incredibly special and historic night that present three of the biggest living legends of the blues harmonica. Their first time on stage together in this line-up and their only UK solo shows in 2013 - blues fans will be in no doubt that this is a night not to be missed!
    Presented and Programmed by Giles Robson
    Giles Robson is one of the the leading harmonica players of a new generation. Paul Jones has said of Robson "There are many harmonica players of note from Stevie Wonder to Giles Robson and back again", and in 2012 he won the Blues Matters Magazine UK Harmonica player of the year award.
    THE SUGAR BLUE BAND
    Providing the musical backing for the evening, expect the creme de la creme of Chicago blues talent to make up the mighty band who will provide the perfect accompaniment for these major artists.
    BILLY BRANCH
    Multi-Grammy nominated Chicago Blues legend, Billy Branch has a tone and solo approach as smooth as a good Cognac. 1991's Alligator Records release 'Harp Attack' saw him confirmed as a major player when he appeared alongside his great mentors and friends the 'Harp Gods' James Cotton, Junior Wells and Carey Wells.
    SUGAR BLUE
    The Grammy Award winning 'Jimmi Hendrix' of the harmonica, he's known as the man who took Little Walter's innovations on that same instrument clear into the stratosphere. He's also known for playing the very famous signature riff on The Rolling Stones hit 'Miss You'. Expect to be dazzled and amazed!
    CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE
    7 time Grammy Nominee and multi-Blues Music Award winner Charlie Musselwhite is on fire with the 2013 release of 'Get Up!' the international smash hit record recorded with Rock legend Ben Harper. Add to this his ultra-fine solo records plus session work and touring for the likes of Tom Waits and Cyndi Lauper and appearances at The White House for the US President and we have a monumental evening. worldofharmonic...

      I would try and look at it from a different perspective. I think that was the whole point, they were deliberately playing together to create overlapping and harmonies. I think its quite magical, layers upon layers of notes. There were times I could have sworn I heard a keyboard, but it wasn't, just so many notes happening together.
      These guys are all brilliant and professional. No entitlement here, just a shared continuity.

    Amazing Harp players, but it's all a bit too much. Tom Cocks is an amazing Harp player, and a thoroughly nice bloke to boot.

      @@Justin-hb9wc I like it. If you like the blues and you like blues harmonica this is fun. Sure it's a lot, but I find it interesting to see how each player interprets their bits.
