Rock and blues at the Vintage

A NIGHT of rock and blues is in store at the Vintage on Saturday.

Formerly known as the 'Lee Hedley Band', the recently renamed 'Papa Jake' are Ireland's premier rock and blues outfit - a very entertaining, crowd engaging, high energy band with a relentless driving rhythm section.

Lee has been compared in the press to the likes of Paul Rodgers, Tom Waits and Otis Redding and has played alongside The Commitments, Westlife and The Corrs.

The band features in most of the blues festivals around, year in, year out, and have become a firm favourite in the Derry Jazz Festival and the Cork Jazz Festival which attracts crowds of around 40,000 people.

In November the band were invited to Milan to headline the Bergamo Blues Festival where they secured a place in Italian hearts and will be returning there in 2010 and beyond.

A wide range of classic Rock, Soul and Blues covers from The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Otis Redding, Free, The Doors, The Band, Fabulous Thunderbirds and of course Rory Gallagher will be played with full passion and musicianship when Papa Jake arrive to put on another legendary show to remember in The Vintage Bar, Lurgan.
