NINE BELOW ZERO 50th Anniversary Tour

A 50th anniversary tour by the British rhythm and blues band Nine Below Zero, with guest musicians including the boogie-woogie and blues pianist Ben Waters, at Saint Luke's in Glasgow.

Nine Below Zero is a British rhythm and blues band whose founding members, Dennis Greaves and Mark Feltham, began playing together in South East London in 1977. Their debut album, Don't Point Your Finger, appeared in 1981 on Pangea Recordings, and in 1982 the band released Third Degree on A&M Records, with a cover photographed by David Bailey. Dennis Greaves also formed the mod group The Truth, which enjoyed chart and live success through the 1980s.

This tour marks fifty years since the band's formation, with guests joining the band on stage: bassist Bruce Foxton, guitarist Robbie McIntosh, Zac Schulze and the rhythm and blues act Dr. Feelgood. Ben Waters is the featured guest on this visit to Glasgow. Waters co-founded The ABC&D of Boogie Woogie with Charlie Watts, Axel Zwingenberger and Dave Green, and has performed and recorded with Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Davies and The Rolling Stones.

Saint Luke's is a Glasgow venue that mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music. The evening suits listeners interested in the band's rhythm and blues repertoire and in its long career.
