Bio
PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR UP TO DATE INFORMATION: WWW.THECOALMINERS.CO.UK THE COALMINERS The only band in the UK to fully dedicate themselves to the New Orleans Soul and Funk sound, the Coalminers have only been going for a year or so, but already have built up a rep off the back of their super-tight sets of authentic Swamp Soul! They also boast the same horn section used by Dr. John when he visits these shores. Taking in the likes of Lee Dorsey, Professor Longhair, Allen Toussaint, The Meters, Eddie Bo and the like, the 'miners are keeping things '60s and 70's, Crescent City style! The band is made up of some of the finest musicians in London who, as well as leading their own successful projects, have worked with: Dr John, Bernard Purdie, Mark Ronson, Earl Thomas, Jamie Cullum, Mose Allison, Supergrass, Micheal Bolton, Madness, The Streets, Jarvis Cocker, Paul Desmond, Amy Winehouse, Basement Jaxx, Dizee Rascal, Ronnie Scott’s house band, Georgie Fame, The Puppini Sisters, The James Taylor Quartet and The Jerry Haglund Blues Sensations, amongst others. Band members have performed at prestigious venues and festivals throughout the UK and the World, including Glastonbury and Montreux as well as many TV and radio shows.
