Most recent/Next visit to The Borderline Club:    Friday 22nd Jan 2004

Kevin Thursfield, Jon Blakey, Johnny Westwood and Peter Lamb

Borderline Comment:

One thing's for sure, any band fronted by ex Blazin' Row bass guitarist and vocalist Kevin Thursfield has got to be worth seeing.

After a year or so out of circulation Kev is back with his latest project Kelly's Heroes. I haven't been able to get out and see them yet, but I've heard some stunning reports and by all accounts we're in for a great night when they appear at the club.

Biography:

Peter Lamb ..................................... Drums.
Johnny " Guitar" Westwood .......... Guitars,Vocals.
Jon "William Hague" Blakey ......... Guitar,Vocals
Kevin Thursfield ............................. Bass,Vocals.

Formed in March 2001,Shropshire band Kelly¹s Heroes are fast becoming firm favourites on the midlands music scene,with their blend of funky blues and a hint of soul and country.Mixing their own adaptations of classic songs with a groovy rhythm,the boys are forging a reputation as a genuine good time band with an ability to play as well as delivering the songs with a tongue­in-cheek rhetoric.

The band have recently recorded a CD,"Rock¹n¹bluesŒn¹funk¹n¹country on PARP records which will finally allow people to take the boys back home and take a bath with them,like they¹ve always wanted to.The CD is a seven track mini album which takes the listener on a cruise through the bubbling Kelly¹s Heroes waters and brings them back to the last time they saw the band, ending the CD with an acoustic version of a live favourite.

If you¹ve not seen this band yet,make a point of seeing them before you see anyone else.If you are a regular at the gigs then you¹ll know exactly what we¹ve been talking about and we¹ll see you there again very soon .REMEMBER:If Opportunity Knocks was still on the TV,the great Hughie Green might work overtime on the Clapometer to get these boys on next weeks show!
