The first gig of 2007 at THE BULLFROG BLUES CLUB on South Parade Pier, Southsea is the fabulous ROBIN BIBI BAND!!!!! Blues, funk, soul, rock, reggae and jazz are all rolled together in The Robin Bibi Band's own concoction. Robin formed the Robin Bibi Band in 1996. Having 'paid his dues' working as guitarist for other artists and bands he decided to embark on a solo project, born out of his love of the blues. Robin Bibi is a seasoned professional and one of the finest blues guitarists in London - artists he has backed include Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Ben E King and Helen Shapiro. His own heroes include Albert King, Peter Green, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Earl Hooker, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Otis Redding, James Brown, Wes Montgomery, Django Reinhardt, Steve Vai and Joe Satriani. Like any great performer he has soaked up these styles and blended them into something all of his own! Because of the band's growing reputation with a highly entertaining stage presentation, the Robin Bibi Band are becoming one of the busiest bands round the Southern music venue circuit, and have succesfully broken into the festival scene. The Robin Bibi Band's live line up includes drummer Hans Ferrao and bassist Tony Marten. The music is exuberant passionate, dynamic, exciting and fun! It's music played straight from the heart, it will move your head, your heart and of course your feet! The band's albums 'Blue Thrash Therapy'' and "Language of Your Soul' present a mixture of the band's most requested songs from the live set and their own original songs, and received excellent reviews and extensive airplay. The Bullfrog gig is tomorrow, Thursday 4th January, doors open at 8 p.m - tickets are just £8. See you there! J.R.
