Nine Below Zero

In 1977 Dennis Greaves formed Stan’s Blues Band with bassist Pete Clark, drummer Kenny Bradley and Harmonica player Mark Feltham.

Then in 1978 Stan’s Blues Band start to play the London pub circuit and develop an excellent reputation as a live act.

In 1979 a tape of a concert, recorded at The Apples & Pears pub in Bermondsey, starts to earn the band bookings at London’s credible club venues.

The band found management after a blistering show at The Thomas A Beckett pub, and a change of name came swiftly, one that preserved the Blues flavour and in tribute to Sonny Boy Williamson, the guys adopted one of his song titles and were renamed Nine Below Zero.

That was the start of a blistering career. The band played tour dates supporting The Who (after Kenney Jones saw them in the studio) & The Kinks. The same year, Nine Below Zero recorded TV appearances for ’The Old Grey Whistle Test’ and the ’South Bank Show’.

The band have played with some of the greats, including the legendary Chuck Berry, one of the founders of Rock and Roll.

Last year Nine Below Zero made appearances at the January Blues Festival and did a tour of Sweden, Germany and Austria in Feb and March followed by a UK Tour to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Third Degree album in the Autumn.

They will be supported by DJ Dave Edwards on the night.
