Lineup and details for The Producers on Thursday 16th February 2012
Dave Saunders and Harry Skinner formed The Producers in 1990. They went on to be one the most popular blues outfit in the country at that time winning the 'Blues Band of the Year' award 4 times, releasing 7 CD albums, one of which, 'Ain't No Love in the World' was nominated for the 'Best Blues Album' award and regularly selling out venues around the country.
Many festival headliners were played, including Colne, Burnley, Stanley Blues, Dublin Templebar, Cork, Farnham, North Wales Blues Festival to name but a few.
Belgium, Ireland, Holland and France played host to Producers tours, and a month long tour of New Zealand was also undertaken, the band playing at the Tauranga Blues + Jazz Festival to great acclaim.
At the Cognac Blues Festival in France they were joined onstage by headliner Ray Charles' brass section, and memorably, his 'Raelets' shimmying and dancing in front of them!
They were featured in session on the Paul Jones Blues Show' on BBC Radio 2 and have been praised by both Johnnie Walker and Bob Harris. Playing at the Alexis Korner Memorial Concert at Buxton Opera House they were spotted by Peter Green's management during Peters first major gig, and asked to support the Fleetwood Mac guitar legend on his first national tour for 25 years. The Producers also featured on the BBC documentary of the Buxton concert.
The Producers gave their last concert on New Years Eve 2001/2002 after undertaking a 6-month farewell tour of the UK; needless to say it was a complete sell out with a date at The Brook being included in that tour.
And now in 2012 they are back!
Harry and Dave still front the band, ably assisted by Ray Drury on Organ and Piano and 'Biff' Smith on the sticks and percussion.
New songs have been written and loyal fans will recognise some reworked stage favourites as they move on from, but definitely do not forget, the past musical history of the band.
