On THURSDAY 7th SEPTEMBER. The Bullfrog Blues Club at The Dockyard Club (DYC), Onslow Rd, Southsea, PO5 2NH are delighted to announce the return of MARCUS MALONE and INNES SIBUN'. Soulful blues-rock star Marcus Malone from Detroit (where he was signed by the Motown label) teamed up with explosive British blues rock guitarist Innes Sibun around five years ago and they've gone from strength to strength ever since. These two stellar musicians produce a powerful mix of rock, blues, soul and funk, all underpinned by Malone's soulful song driven quality and triggered by Sibun's high levels of intensity and his inherent melodic feel. It's an exciting musical partnership born of the same musical influences. Innes Sibun was barely in his 20's when he was produced by the legendary Mike Vernon, before joining Robert Plant's 'Fate of Nations' world tour. He has subsequently built an international reputation by signing with the American label Viceroy, and then Provogue and Blues Boulevard in Europe. He's an explosive player, versatile enough to be able to slip from rock and blues into jazz and funk. As 'Classic Rock' magazine wrote "Innes Sibun draws on deep wellspring of feeling that's undeniable and immediately infectious." Innes Sibun: "When the chance comes along to play with a great musician who is travelling down the same musical road as you, then you jump at it. Listening to Marcus Malone I hear echoes of Paul Rodgers, Otis Redding, early David Coverdale, and lots of Stax influences". Marcus Malone: "To say we are moving in the same direction musically is an understatement. Not only does Innes have shades of my favourite guitar players - Jimmy Page, Hendrix and Paul Kossoff - but he also has the soulful approach and the dynamics of BB and Albert King". ( ....and Marcus should know, as he played The Royal Albert Hall with B.B. King!) Put all those influences together and you get the unique style of Innes Sibun. Their appearance at The Bullfrog promises to be an incendiary evening of music, NOT TO BE MISSED - if you've seen 'em before you'll be back!
