Allendale, near Hexham - Friday 12th May 2006

Local lad, Robert Kane brings the superb Dr Feelgood to  the hills of Allendale.

Do you remember those days of the superb clubs, top-class bands, hot, sweaty and a great atmosphere? Those days are still here and can be found again with one of Europe’s leading blues to R&B outfits.

Dr Feelgood is one of the best live bands on the circuit and so they should be, they’ve been doing it long enough. With the highly animated and outstanding vocalist Robert Kane up front, Steve Walwyn will be letting rip on lead guitar and Phil Mitchell (no not that one) is simply superb on bass.

Formed on Canvey Island in Essex in the early 1970's Dr Feelgood has become one of the most popular live rhythm and blues acts in the world. The raw and uncompromising style that made them so popular resulted in the band achieving a number one chart position with the album "Stupidity" - a testament to their dynamic stage show.

They have enjoyed a string of hit singles in many countries including Milk & Alcohol, Down at the Doctors, Roxette, She's a Wind Up and See You Later Alligator.  The band have had a couple of changes over the years, but the high quality remains constant. The current line-up is led by drummer Kevin Morris with Steve Walwyn on lead guitar, Phil Mitchell on bass and charismatic vocalist Robert Kane who learned his craft in the gigs of the Northeast and Cumbria.  

All of the band members are excellent musicians, but watch out for some top-notch vocals and outstanding harp playing from Robert and of course get set for Steve Walwyn as he goes into full flight with some jaw-twisting lead guitar.  The show will no doubt attract old and new fans so make sure to order  your tickets today as last years gig was near capacity.
