Coalhouse%20Walker%20Blues%20Band
Quantcast Vocals and Harmonica Stuart Webb................ played with Big moose Walker and Luther'guitar junior' johnson,then formed his own band Mississipi Rythmn Method.playing down The legendry blues club Station Tavern regulary..Now with the reformed Coalhouse fronting out the band with powerful soul and love for the blues............................................................................................................. ..................................................................................................................... Guitar Dean Cooper Coalhouse new guitarist was chosen very carefully to replace Ryan Lamb and we couldn’t have picked a better person to fill the slot..Dean Cooper found music from an early age, when at the age of 6 he was given piano lessons. 3 years later he was given his 1st electric guitar and was immediately drawn in to the blues. Initially influenced by his fathers collection of Rolling Stones LP’s, Dean discovered and studied the whole spectrum of blues guitarists. His main influences have been: Albert King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters, Robert Cray, Jimmy Vaughan, Magic Sam, Otis Rush, Howlin Wolf, BB King, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Elmore James, Ry Cooder, Eric Clapton, SRV, and many others. In 1994, whilst living and gigging in and around Manchester he achieved a degree in Music with honors. Since, he has toured and played with bands all over Europe, playing and learning many different styles of music including Blues, Funk, Jazz and Country music. But it is the blues that he comes back to time and time again. With driving rhythms and soaring solos, every note is played from the heart........................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................. Piano Richie Biggs Foremost A Boogie Woogie pianist and over 20 years of pounding the rhythm now incorporates blues in his style beautifully....Solid and consistent he has to be as the boogie bass lines take the place of the upright bass and give Coalhouse their distinctive sound....Awarded band member of the year award 5 years in a row !!............................................................................................................ .................................................................................................................... Drums Mick Simmons New to the band Micks enthusiasm and skills generate a warm and welcome combination to the band....we wanted someone who had a wealth of experience, now Coalhouse has reached a point in its history where the music played is incredible...................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................... Bass Guitar John Culleton Started playing Bass when he was 12, 1964. first band THE ORIGINALS got into Blues around 1967 inspired by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac at Cooks Ferry and Rambling Jacks Blues Club in Bishops Stortford, then toured and recorded with WHITE MULE between 1969 - 71, John Mayo on guitar 1971 played with the late Alan Gowan of Hatfield and the North and Gilgamesh, Lin Dobson and Jamie Muir were also in the band which split when Jamie joined King Crimson 1972 - 74 couple of years with Cambridge band BABY WHALE , various lineups including Sally Oldfield and Raf Ravenscroft (Sax on Bakers St ) been House Bass player at the Bishops Stortford Blues Club for the past Six years or so as well as playing with BAD TOWN BLUES and various Jam bands. he just happened to hear that COALHOUSE WALKER were after an Electric Bass Player, nothin really hits the spot like great Chicago Blues hey!! ................................................................................................... ................................................................................................................ ................................................................................................................ The Band have had so many great memories.....i'll add one a week then the website will look like its progressing !! Stuart ,Rich and the late great coalhouse guitarist Dave fowler spent the night drinking and laughing ( sometimes uncontrollably) with Roscoe Gordon and Lefty dizz...it was like going back in time...they were just brilliant and one piece of advice stuck in our memories when Roscoe talked about how everyone got on with each other and helped each other...today its alot different as bands are more insular...we always help if we can and this is a piece of the jigsaw that lets us play the blues with feeling....
