The Fallen Heroes at The Boston Room, George IV

The Heroes will be showcasing songs from their latest highly acclaimed album, “Songs from The Attic” as well as playing some exciting old favourites all helped along the way by the noted Kansas City boogie pianist Dean Ross. Expect to hear an interesting mix of originals plus some hot rhythm & blues, swinging jazz & a dash of ska, including numbers from Ray Charles, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry, all influenced by the jazz and blues of New Orleans where band leaders Ben and Emile Martyn grew up.

The Martyn Brothers’ musical history includes playing with the likes of Dr John, James Cotton, KT Tunstall and Ronnie Wood. Their band draws on the musical energy of the American South but with a twist, writing original compositions in a funky New Orleans manner but in a more contemporary London style. With Ben Martyn on vocals & bass, Emile Martyn on drums and backing vocals and Dean Ross on keys, the line-up is completed by John O’Neil (Madness) on saxophone and Rob Pearce on trombone. 7.30pm. ...
