*  Two-Buck Band

The Two Buck Band plays blues-oriented stuff that can take you via country, jazz, zydeco, rockabilly, ballads – anything that has a story. That story can lead to some unexpected places, both musically and narratively, which is part of the reason people follow them, why they play together, and why they get into trouble. But that’s another story.

You’ll recognise the faces, as they play in a bunch of other bands. MC and vocalist is Paul Wilson, Walter de Jong on Hammond, Warren Henry on drums, Mick Field on fretless bass, Peter Tos on the gold top Les Paul, and Ian Armfield on slide.

What can you expect to hear? Who knows: it could turn out to be a night of originals and less-than-standards, or it could be something completely different. All you can be sure of is it won’t sound like any other band.
