Lead Belly Fest, Royal Albert Hall, 15th Juni 2015

This event took place at the Royal Albert Hall. 

The Lead Belly Fest honoured the music of Lead Belly. He had a troubled life. The event was in support of the Lead Belly Estate and Foundation as well as the Shooting Star Chase Children’s Hospice Care with HRH The Countess of Wessex in attendance. 
There was one highlight chasing the other. The main highlight was Walter Trouts comeback. He was introduced by his wife Marie. Her speach brought tears to all of us. He fought like a warrior to make this happen. After his first song this evening everyone got up on their feet and he was overwhelmed. Tom Paley (87) performed "On A Monday". He is the only member of the Lead Belly band who is still alive. 
Eric Bibb did two accoustic songs. 
Eric Burdon and Sir Van Morrison´s performances were also great. Van Morrison brought the house down with songs like Astral Weeks, Cleaning Windows and Midnight Special. Eric and Van were joined by all the stars that performed earlier and sung "Goodnight Irene" etc.

A lovely review by Heidi Widmer can be found on facebook (FB), I could not remember all the highlights but she did!

The Famous 3 B's: Chris Barber, Mr. Acker Bilk & Kenny Ball

Seit der Gründung des alljährlichen Berliner Jazz-Open-Air-Happenings "Jazz in Town" im historischen Rathaushof zu Köpenick wird die Musik der großen Britischen Dixieland-Legenden gepflegt. Fast 50 Auftritte in den letzten 15 Jahren von Chris Barber, Kenny Ball und Mr. Acker Bilk vor ausverkauftem Rathaushof sprechen für die Einzigartigkeit und den legendären Ruf der Ikonen des traditionellen Jazz. Mit diesem Konzert-Ereignis wird jene Tradition gekrönt: Erleben Sie an einem Abend "The Famous 3 B's" in Berlin-Köpenick! Begeben Sie sich mit "Dr. h.c. Jazz" Drechsel auf eine dreistündige musikalische Reise durch über 50 Jahre Jazzgeschichte. Die für seine Verdienste um den Jazz mit dem Bundesverdienstkreuz geehrte Koryphäe erzählt Geschichte und Geschichten zu den größten Jazzmusikern Europas. Zum letzten Mal gehen die lebenden Legenden des "British Traditional Jazz" auf gemeinsame Tour durch ganz Europa! Freuen Sie sich auf The Big Chris Barber Band, Kenny Ball & His Jazzmen und auf Mr. Acker Bilk & His Paramount Jazzband.

Ein Weltstar zum Anfassen - Chris Barber Band in Pinneberg

PINNEBERG UND UMGEBUNG

Ein Weltstar zum Anfassen

13. Januar 2012 | 00:20 Uhr | von Claudia Frese-Otto

DRUCKEN | VERSENDEN

PINNEBERG. Der Abend beginnt leise. Keine Menschenmenge, keine Schlange an der Kasse. Was einen da wohl erwartet, könnte der eine oder andere gedacht haben. Dann die Überraschung: Gleich am Eingang des Saales steht er, der Meister selbst: Chris Barber. Schüttelt Hände, beantwortet Fragen, signiert CDs und wenn er lacht, lachen seine Augen mit.
