Spitz Blues - Sister Mary and the Choir Boys

Date: Friday 4 September
Time: 22:00
Venue: St Pancras
Price: £4.50

Unapologetic blues from one of London's newest and best blues bands. The 60s' Atlantic meets the 2000s' London.

After completing her training at Trinity College of Music, Emine Pirhasan had made links with some of London's top up and coming musicians, including composer/arranger and multi-instrumentalist Fred Thomas. With a passion for Bessie Smith, Ray Charles, and many a late night party jamming till dawn to the sounds of the honky tonk piano and the cahon, the two decided to form a band exclusively dedicated to blues R'n'B, using a contemporary, edgy sound over more traditional Ray Charles-esque riffs.

After two years of gigging on the London scene, the five-piece band have quite a following and an album in tow. Songs which sound like earthy classics with a modern twist are, in fact, pure original material written by Pirhasan/Thomas, with wildly intricate, cutting lyrics and an overwhelmingly instinctive blues voice from the indominatable Emine Pirhasan.
