Meet the band
Keith Parker, harp and vocals
Keith discovered the blues as a young boy in the mid 60s and fell in love with the mouth organ (as it was called back then). He taught himself to play by copying the British players that were around at the time. By the end of the sixties that Hohner Supervamper was put away and did not surface for 25 years - discovered again during a mid life crisis.
The Blues harp now dominates his life. Keith and his SEYDEL 1847s have performed on many European and American stages (including Chicago) but he is most at home on stage in front of an audience helping to create that Untouchables GROOVE.

Peter Ellison, guitar and vocals
He started playing guitar at twelve when a teacher at his school offered to teach him the chords to Bob Dylan songs but as soon as he heard Clapton's solo on All your love on The World of Blues Power he knew what he wanted to play. He quickly discovered the originals - especially John Lee Hooker and T-Bone Walker.
After flirting with prog rock, reggae, avant-garde jazz, be-bop and funk - and giving up playing altogether for a few years - he returned to his first love - the blues.
Pete is obsessed with collecting old US catalogue guitars (Harmony, Supro, Kay etc) and worships the Dearmond pickup.

Paul 'Chuck' Green, doghouse bass
The band cloned Paul from a hair believed to come from the great bass player Danny Thompson ...... it all went terribly wrong.
