Blues explosion at Belvoir Players!

Blues guitar legend Ronnie Greer is a milestone in the Irish blues scene, his distinctive guitar style, merging Chicago blues with elements of bebop jazz, has been critically acclaimed as world class. Ronnie brought his current 5 piece line up to the concert in Belvoir Players: singer/guitarist Anthony Toner, keyboard wizard John McCullough, Alan Hunter on bass and Colm Fitzpatrick on drums.


 
 A blues guitar workshop preceded the concert, with blues guitar virtuoso Ronnie playing the sizzling slide guitar and Anthony showing how to perform the blues guitar…

With a repertoire featuring everything from classic gutbucket Jimmie Reed right up to Robben Ford and Steely Dan, the Ronnie Greer Blues Band is at the peak of its powers.


The concert was absolutely brilliant, with electrifying blues and roots music filling in Belvoir Players, but unfortunately there was a small audience – Culture Night was on in Belfast and apparently it stole the scene to our blues night!
