DIRT ROAD BAND

The Dirt Road Band is the brainchild of guitar legend Steve Walwyn, mainly known as the longest serving guitar player in Dr Feelgood (32yrs). During this time he amassed a massive reputation as a bona fide blues hero in the UK, Europe and beyond. He says “I’d always liked the idea of the power trio – stripping everything back to the basics: guitar, bass & drums. To help him in this he has recruited the services of drummer Ted Duggan, professional since the 60’s including stints with Badfinger and techno giants Banco de Gaia.

Bass player Horace Panter is better known as a founding member of The Specials. Horace has “groove” printed on his DNA, holding it down comes as second nature. This then is Steve’s dream team rhythm section that swings as hard as it rocks. “We’re starting to develop that musical telepathy that makes a band more than the sum of its’ parts. It’s a thrilling thing and keeps the blues alive”.
