DICK TAYLOR, the Rolling Stones' first bass-player in the 1960s, Keith Richards said it is Dick's mum who was responsible for his addictions getting him hooked on Jaffa Cakes. When Bill Wyman joined the Stones, Dick left and started THE PRETTY THINGS as a guitarist together with singer PHIL MAY who sadly died in 2020. In 2018, at the Final Bow Concert in London's Indigo/O2 Arena, the story of one of the rawest and most influential bands in British R&B came to an end, respectfully supported by international icons such as Pink Floyd's David Gilmour and Van Morrison. In 2024, DICK TAYLOR collaborated with the dedicated and authentic German band TALLYMAN, featuring former Wallenstein member JUERGEN PLUTA, playing mainly the Pretty Things' early songbook, which will be performed live, step by step, extended by their later tracks classics like Rosalyn, Don’t Bring Me Down, Road Runner, Can’t Stand the Pain, Midnight to Six Man, Alexander, Buzz the Jerk, Get the Picture, Come see me, Rain’ in my Heart, Baron Saturday – with Dick featured on lead vocals, etc..

Track Dogs

Black Frog Presents at the Hot Box · Chelmsford

Track Dogs are an international band formed in 2006 in Madrid with a name deriving from the dark subterranean world of the New York subway system. They are an eclectic line up of acoustic guitar, electric base, trumpet, cajon and stunning four-part vocal harmonies. “A rare combination of four great players who also have superb voices creating stunning individual vocal performances and the almost inevitable perfect harmonies. The playing is outstanding, the harmonies superb, and it is joyful throughout, just give it a listen" Music Riot UK Their sound is best described as “sunshine-y songs thriving on dark themes behind irresistible rhythms”. Those familiar with the band will know that Track Dogs have always dabbled in different styles from Americana and bluegrass to folk and even blues. With over 11 albums and performances from Glastonbury to the Royal Albert Hall, Track Dogs continue make a name for themselves. “Genre busting acoustic music built around folk, Americana and bluegrass”. RnR Magazine Sometimes deadly serious, sometimes showing a finely tuned sense of humour – they will always get you tapping your feet and before you know it you will be up and dancing! “...

Katie Spencer

Black Frog Presents at the Hot Box · Chelmsford

''Her articulate picking, with suggestions of folk and jazz, frames intelligently written songs’ – Guitarist Magazine ‘Fresh as a sweet Sunday morning’ – MOJO ★★★★ ‘A fine singer-songwriter, and an excellent guitarist’ – Songlines ★★★★ ‘A master-class of inspired and beautifully-sounding craftsmanship’ – KLOF ‘One of the most distinctive voices in folk music’ – Folk London ‘What Love Is is a triumph. Katie deploys her signature vocal vibrato to devastating effect’ – At The Barrier Raised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull (UK), Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through her assured guitar style and songwriting. Now, as Katie steps into this new era with a third album, her focus turns to those deeper inner spaces, inviting the listener to engage with her heartfelt and intricately crafted songs. Her writing, and most notably her guitar playing, stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell, Judee Sill, Julie Byrne and perhaps most evidently Michael Chapman...
