9 Below Zero 50th Anniversary tour '59 Below Zero'

A 50th anniversary tour by Nine Below Zero, the British rhythm and blues band, with guest musicians joining them on stage at The Live Room in Saltaire, Shipley.

Nine Below Zero is a British rhythm and blues band formed in 1977. Its founding members, Dennis Greaves and Mark Feltham, began playing together in South East London that same year. Feltham, a harmonica player, has also been picked for that instrument by acts including Oasis, Annie Lennox, Talk Talk and Rory Gallagher.

The band's debut album, Don't Point Your Finger, was released in 1981 on Pangea Recordings. The following year they issued Third Degree on A&M Records, whose cover photograph was taken by David Bailey. Nine Below Zero toured with The Who and The Kinks in 1980 and 1981, and appeared on The Old Grey Whistle Test and The South Bank Show, as well as a cameo in the comedy The Young Ones.

This tour marks the band's 50 years, with guests joining them on stage: Bruce Foxton, Zac Shulze, Ben Waters and Robbie McIntosh, plus long-standing co-performers Dr Feelgood. The Live Room at Caroline Social Club, on Caroline Street in Saltaire, Shipley, mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music.
