Wow! With this triple bill, its hard to imagine a night crammed with any more high quality rock n roll than this! Expect an evening filled with guitar based blues-country-rock by masters of their craft.

 

Mick Ralphs, the legendary British blues-rock guitarist with Mott The Hoople and Bad Company brings his fantastic Blues Band back to The Greystones following their mighty debut with their Christmas Party last year.

 

Legendary Nashville guitarist Warner E. Hodges (Jason & The Scorchers, The Bluefields and Dan Baird and Homemade Sin) returns to The Greystones with a new trio featuring Mikael Fassberg (ex Bonafide) and Phil Martini (ex Quireboys). Last year Warner tore the place up with Sheffield's own Roaming Son as his house band. Everyone in the room was blown away by the sheer exuberance of Warner's performance. A real legend.

 

The Western Sizzlers are a honkin’, stonkin’ and of course rockin’ country outfit from Atlanta, Georgia featuring Rick Richards on guitar (Georgia Satellites). We are looking forward to their debut here at The Greystones and I challenge you not to be singing along with 'One More Beer', their unique party anthem. Yee Haw!

 

You'll be on your knees at the end of this fantastic night of QUALITY rock n roll in the intimate and sweaty Backroom at The Greystones. Forget your Christmas do with rubber turkey and pedestrian flashing light disco, right here is where Christmas really starts!

 

"Mick Ralphs is one of Britain’s finest and probably most understated blues/rock guitarists whose career path spans almost 5 decades. He is without doubt a true legend and pioneer of British rock and blues and as he rolls on towards his seventies shows no sign of abating his enthusiasm or love of the guitar and blues music. Men like this are few and far between these days and you won’t always get an opportunity to experience them first hand, so my advice is take the opportunity while you can." - Rob Goodwin (Realtime Live)

 

"there is absolutely no question that Hodges plays dirty, loud guitar better than many of his better-known contemporaries. With his heart so obviously in loud rock and roll and with blazing performances under his wing... to see Warner E. Hodges on stage is to see him at his best." - Penny Black Music

 

"For Ol’ Times Sake’ (by The Western Sizzlers) is the perfect title for an album that glances back over its shoulder to the halcyon days of pre-corporate independent southern rock and alt. country. It’s that combination of bar room boogie and a batch of impressive songs that make this an album well worth checking out." - Pete Feenstra (Get Ready to Rock)
