THE BAND, AND OUR MUSIC

RICH LUETCHFORD

HARMONICA/VOCALS

"The Poor Boys love playing the Blues - and it shows!"

ANDREW MORRISON

GUITAR/BASS GUITAR

"Blues has always been a mainstay in my general approach - if you can’t feel it - don’t play it."

AL GUNN

BASS GUITAR/GUITAR/VOCALS

Blues music has a rich history and has been hugely influential - I love it!"

ANGAI FAKAVA

DRUMS/KEYBOARD

"Blues ain't easy, but it ain't hard music. It can be challenging but that's what made me the musician I am today."

ORIGINAL BLUES

OUR NEW BAND MEMBER

AL GUNN

Rich and the Poor Boys welcome on board (as Denny heads very much on-board but off-shore) our new Bass player, Al Gunn. Al developed a love of music as a teenager, learning guitar and playing in bands. A devoted music fan across many genres, he brings a wealth of experience to his performance, providing a solid, harmonic foundation. Al collaborates both on existing set lists, and on the many original songs regularly created by Band members.

bluesmen WHO INSPIRE OUR MUSIC

RICH

"Early UK influences were The Rolling Stones, Savoy Brown (with John O'Leary) and Fleetwood Mac (with Peter Green). Now listening to some of the greats: Little Walter, Rice Miller (aka Sonny Boy Williamson II), Howlin' Wolf and Junior Wells."

ANDREW

"My primary interest has alway been Blues - my first record purchase when I was 11 years old was a compilation of the greats - John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Elmore James etc."

DENNY

"For me, it's all about the old guys - Robert Johnson, Son House, Skip James, Sleepy John Estes, Charley Patton etc. Having said that, I've got to include Willie Dixon!"
