Biografia:
A inglesa Blues Band é liderada pelo ex-vocalista da Manfred Mann, Paul Jones, e o guitarrista e vocalista Dave Kelly, que, antes de formar o grupo em 1979, tinha sido um membro da John Dummer Blues Band e lançado vários discos solos por conta própria (Kelly também recebeu elogios pela sua maneira de tocar por parte das lendas do blues Howlin' Wolf e John Lee Hooker).

Depois da adesão do amigo e baixista Gary Fletcher, as sementes da Blues Band foram plantadas, resultando em incontáveis álbuns: "Offical Bootleg Album" e "Ready", de 1980, "Itchy Feet", de 1981, "Brand Loyalty", de 1982, que contou com o novo baterista Rob Townsend, ex-integrante da Family, "Bye Bye Blues", de 1983, "These Kind Of Blues", de 1986, "Back For More", de 1989, "Fat City", de 1991, "Homage", de 1993, e "Wire Less", de 1995, entre outros.

Além disso, Kelly formou a Dave Kelly Band em meados dos anos 80 (que lançou quatro discos), escreveu músicas para comerciais, desenvolveu projetos para os programas King Of The Ghetto e The Comic Strip Presents Strike!, da rede de televisão BBC, foi eleito o melhor artista acústico através de enquetes realizadas pela BBC nos anos 90 e é um patrono honorário da London Guitar College, juntamente com Hank Marvin (Greg Prato, AllMusic; tradução livre do inglês).
