Chris Barber Joins Bill For '100 Club Campaign Concert'

New Blues pioneer Stephen Dale Petit has announced the donation of all proceeds from his forthcoming single, the appropriately titled ‘Need Your Love So Bad’, to the Save The 100 Club campaign.

The single is taken from his new album ‘The Crave’ and is now officially titled ‘Need Your Love So Bad (Save The 100 Club)’. Released on December 6th it is expected to sell heavily to a fast-growing and proactive grassroots movement which includes nearly 20,000 Facebook supporters.

The release follows Stephen Dale Petit’s December 1st 100 Club Benefit gig at the 100 club featuring Rolling Stones’ guitarists Ronnie Wood and Mick Taylor and (exclusively confirmed here) a rare live appearance from octogenarian British Blues Boom architect, jazz trombonist Chris Barber.

In the early 1960s, Chris Barber (along with blues trailblazers Alexis Korner and John Mayall) was directly responsible for encouraging young hopefuls like Eric Clapton, Peter Green and members of The Rolling
Stones. He helped ferment the British Blues explosion that in turn resulted in the British Blues Invasion exported back to the USA in the mid-late ‘60s.

Organiser Petit enthuses “It’s fantastic that Chris Barber’s coming down to play – he’s one of the Godfathers of modern British music and his connections to the 100 Club are deep and longstanding.”   More names for December 1st will be announced in coming weeks.
