The Barrelhouse Blues Orchestra put together by Paul Hart in January 2003, it has grown from a 22 piece band with an exciting pedigree and the musicians have played or written for many star acts including Wings, Cream, Deacon Jones, Vandergraf Generator, Sphere/ Andy Sheppard, Lion (Be Bop Delux), The Who, 200 fingers, Robbie MacIntosh, Kenny Jones Band, Roger Chapman, Clarence "Big" Miller, the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and James Last to name but a few!
The whole outfit is conducted by the enormously talented Marcus Marriot, who with Chaz Dickie and Dave Burgess are largely responsible for the smooth and exciting arrangements. The band and Johnny released the album "On My Mind" to coincide with a double feature on the Paul Jones Show for Radio 2.
And THIS is their debut-album ... everybody who is interested in hot Blues & R & B tunes should listen to this album, because it´s one of the best albums in the last years ... this album is a must !
