Hi, Adi Wood here, drummer with Mick Ridgway's Mojo Hand - we're a Leicester blues band who've been treading the boards for over a decade. To give you an idea what we're about, here's a quote from Blues In Britain -
“Mojo Hand oozed an ease and confidence with which they rapidly captured their audience. Their playlist had plenty of loved standards as well as original songs. Outstanding for me was the terrific Junior Wells “Come on in this House” a slowdown number beautifully played, perfect ‘open your heart’ blues. I can’t complain when a band gets it this right. A masterly performance indeed. This was my kind of blues evening as the audience was with the band all the way. A special mention for this has to go to Mick himself – he’s the front man par-excellence, stylish, easy going and friendly he entertained us to the end – super vocals, super harp – but never overpowering the bands sound.” – Hilary Drysome, Blues In Britain.
Long time band members Steve Castledine and Giles Minkley have recently moved on to pastures new - we wish them well.
Look out for live tracks in the next day or so and photos soon.
