Ian made his debut public appearance as a guest of The King Earl Boogie Band at the Sundowners picnic gig.  Ian is optimistic for his future and that of his newly formed band.  When he does eventually start back on the road his gigs will be advertised on www.IfTheDevil.com and on his own site at www.IanCampbellBlues.com .

Colin visited the USA several times in 2010 to launch the record and he played three major festivals with FOGHAT during the Summer; and in December he joined FOGHAT to play at the World famous Iridium Club in New York.

GORDON VAUGHAN joined the band in 2010 initially as a "dep" for Ian Campbell , but as the extent of Ian's injuries became clear Gordon has become a full time member of the band and Lead Guitarist with the KEBB.  Gordon is an eloquent guitarist with a real soul feel for his Stratocaster.  

Ian is a very difficult act to follow - but Gordon is fitting in well.

2010 saw a memorable UK tour by BOB HALL and DAVE PEABODY

Pianist Bob Hall and guitarist Dave Peabody performed and recounted tales about the bluesmen they have met during fifty years of playing the blues.

From the 1950’s onwards visiting American blues stars have toured the UK in the company of British musicians who in turn have absorbed the blues spirit that gives the music its gritty intensity. Multi-award winners Bob Hall (Piano, mandolin, vocals) and Dave Peabody (guitar, harmonica, vocals) have had the experience of learning from many blues originals during thousands of miles travelling around U.K. and the U.S.A. John Lee Hooker, Howlin’ Wolf, Honeyboy Edwards, Charlie Musselwhite and a host of other blues giants have befriended Hall and Peabody giving them the kind of insight worth more than a lifetime spent listening to records.

Hall and Peabody are the foremost UK exponents of traditional blues styles. In Meetings With Remarkable (Blues) Men they perform the music of their friends and mentors telling stories of their lives and travels… some poignant, some hilarious… but all from their own personal experiences.

DAVE PEABODY was glimpsed in the background of a BBC4 documentary "FOLK AMERICA Part 1 : Birth of a Nation". which was broadcast in January 2009.  It was shot while he was backing David Honeyboy Edwards on his 2008 UK tour.
 

In November 2008 DAVE PEABODY toured the UK with another Blues Legend, CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE.

The highlight of the UK tour was a performance at The 100 Club in London's Oxford Street on 19th November, which was recorded live by the BBC.

The recordings were broadcast on THE PAUL JONES RADIO SHOW (BBC2) on Monday 12th January 2009

DAVE PEABODY toured the UK with Blues Legend, David "Honeyboy" Edwards in May 2008.

Honeyboy is nearly 93 years old and was a contemporary of Robert Johnson among others.  The tour culminated with a sell-out show at London's 100 Club on 27th May and was followed up with an interview by Paul Jones for his BBC Monday night blues programme.   The interview, which also featured Dave Peabody, was broadcast on 28th July 2008.

This respected blues magazine includes a major feature interview with COLIN EARL in its November 2006 edition.  The interview is reproduced more or less verbatim and Colin revealed lots about his career development, his personal influences, his aspirations for the King Earl Boogie Band and at long last - after thirty four years of silence - his version of why Mungo Jerry broke up.

The interview, by Fran Leslie,  editor of Blues in Britain,  is the cover feature and is accompanied by some excellent photographs by Richard Brayshaw - including two full page portraits as well as the front cover portrait.
