Paul Jones & Dave Kelly

Paul Jones & Dave Kelly

Founder members of The Blues Band, Paul Jones and Dave Kelly, have roots deep in the tradition of authentic blues. Alongside their own original material, they perform classics from legends such as Howlin’ Wolf, John Lee Hooker, and Sonny Boy Williamson—artists they not only admired but also played with and befriended.

After more than 25 years presenting his BBC Radio 2 R&B show, Paul Jones remains a thrilling singer and harmonica maestro. His knowledge of the blues is unmatched. Likewise, Dave Kelly—often called Europe’s leading bluesman—has shared stages with icons such as James Burton and Buddy Guy. His superb vocals and guitar virtuosity place him among the elite of international blues performers.

A live acoustic set from this dynamic duo is an experience you’ll never forget. If you’re a true blues fan, everything you need is right here.
