George Glover joined the British Blues and Rock Explosion at 19th Vallemaggia Magic Blues Festival, Switzerland on July 29, 2021
50 years after the Blues invasion
The British music scene has been a milestone in the evolution of pop music today for decades. In the 60s and 70s young musicians and groups such as John Mayall, Eric Clapton, Alexis Korner, the Animals, the Rolling Stones, the Who and, later, Led Zeppelin were the main architects of the transition from canonical Blues to Rock- Blues, still influencing many musical trends 50 years later. In practice, in those years there was a real explosion, called the “British Blues invasion”, which changed the musical world of young people. The British Blues & Rock Explosion, a band of established musicians from various bands, will now land in Cevio. They will offer a lightning-fast show with songs by the likes of Joe Cocker, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, The Band and those mentioned above. The group includes George Glover of the “Climax Blues Band”, Danny Handley of “Animals & Friends”, Rock icon Steve Gibbons, guitarist and singer Pete “Sarge” Frampton, accordion virtuoso Robert Hirmer, bassist Roger Inniss, already admired with “Blues Caravan” (in Cevio in 2018) and drummer Tom Diewock. Five different frontmen guarantee an unforgettable Blues-rock show, reviving the spirit of the Woodstock era once again. (in Cevio in 2018) and drummer Tom Diewock.
