Climax Blues Band were delighted to return to the stage for their first live gigs in 18 months!

In November, we headlined "Live in the Green", in Hatswil, Switzerland. The previous month, CBB were at the fabulous Carlisle Blues/Rock Festival and the Backstage, Green Hotel, Kinross (see video below) with guests Dan Machin on lead guitar and Geoff Ockenden on bass (due to Covid).

Climax Blues Band 2020

In reviewing the album ‘Hands Of Time’ for Get Ready to Rock!, Pete Feenstra wrote: “It’s the sound of a mature band drawing on historic roots…to explore polished songcraft through a mix of deep funky grooves with a soulful feel, born of bluesy antecedents.”

In this interview special, Pete chats to the band’s frontman, vocalist and songwriter Graham Dee with tracks from the album.

‘Flood of Emotion” is the final offering on the album ‘Hands Of Time‘ the 21st album by Climax Blues Band.

It was recorded at Silk Mill Studio’s in Staffordshire, UK and is a mixture of bluesy funk, soul and jazz-rock, all of the ingredients that have kept the band working for over 50 years.

The German Tour video was a pre-announcement for a tour from February 8 – 21, 2020. This sellout tour was staged in conjunction with On Stage tour and concert promotion. The gallery shows photographs from Climax Blues Band performing at Bordesholm, as part of their sold-out 2020 Germany Hands of Time tour.
