The John Mayall Project

A powerful live tribute to John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, celebrating the legends who shaped British blues.

***

In 1966 John Mayall and his band the Bluesbreakers released their debut studio album which became known as the Beano Album. The album pioneered a guitar dominated blues rock sound and helped launch the career of the legendary Eric Clapton. The John Mayall Project celebrates the 60th anniversary of this iconic album and is delighted to bring this fabulous collection songs to the Errigle together with a selection of other great British blues songs from many of the great guitarists who shared the stage with Mayall over the years.
