A star-studded line up promises an unforgettable evening of soul and blues classics at Marine
Theatre in Lyme Regis on Friday 21 October.
The Great British Soul & Blues Revue is a special supergroup performance from Jo Harman, Mike
Mayfield, Eddy Smith and Joanna Cooke.
This unique collaboration will celebrate some of the greatest songs ever written. From earthy
blues classics to dance-floor 70s soul favourites, this gritty shakedown will, by turn, break your
heart, and then have you dancing in your seat.
The term "supergroup" is no exaggeration. Jo, Mike, Eddy and Joanna are all successful solo artists
in their own right.
Jo Harman is one of Europe’s finest soul/blues singers. She’s an international touring and
recording artist with many awards to her name. The Daily Mirror described her as “the UK’s best
female blues soul voice”.
Singer guitarist, Mike Mayfield, is a touring and recording artist. As an accompanist and session
musician, he's much in demand. He's played with Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Emeli Sande, Joss Stone
and Jamie Cullum.
Husky-voiced Eddy Smith on piano has been making his mark on the UK’s growing Americana
scene with his band Eddy Smith & The 507. His distinctive vocals are often compared to Joe
Cocker, Van Morrison and Rag ‘n’ Bone Man.
Rising star, Joanna Cooke, completes the impressive vocal line up. Motown's Martha Reeves once
described her as that “baby girl singing the blues”.
Julie Sheppard of Jazz Jurassica says:
“We’re very excited to bring this one-off show to Lyme Regis. Any one of these artists merit a
headline slot but to have all four on stage, singing these iconic songs together, will be off the scale
– backed by an ace band. It’ll be a long time before we see anything like it again, so don’t miss
it”.
£16.00 Advance/ £20.00 on the door
£8 under 18s. No booking fees
Starts at 8pm
