The Stacey Brothers: "The Royal Scammers"
This is a fantastic band put together by the Stacey Brothers, Jeremy & Paul. Jeremy Stacey is a powerful and highly impressive drummer, who is equally at home playing pop, rock, funk or straight ahead jazz. Jeremy’s CV is vast, including work with the likes of Tom Jones and the The Finn Brothers. The regular drummer with American icon Sheryl Crow for over 7 years, Jeremy toured the world (twice!) with his friend Noel Gallagher’s “High Flying Birds” and was one of the three featured drummers with the iconic band King Crimson. Paul Stacey is an impressive guitarist who showed his versatility early on when he combined work with the likes of Jazz vocalist Claire Martin with appearances with Oasis, working with Noel Gallagher on various projects both as a musician and producer as well as playing guitar with the Black Crowes, Chris Robinson and the Finn Brothers. These days a well-respected producer and recording engineer as well as a master guitarist Paul is considered to be one of the UK's leading musicians. Old friends of the Club Jeremy & Paul have, however, found time in their busy schedules to put together this tribute to the seminal US band Steely Dan. Co-founded by Walter Becker and Donald Fagen in 1972 this group, of which those two musicians were the core members, produced a series of iconic albums, including The Royal Scam, Aja and Gaucho. For the gig tonight Jeremy & Paul have put together a world-class 14-piece band to perform a selection of timeless songs from the “Steely Dan” canon. Featured musicians include vocalist/guitarist Andy Caine (Tommy Blaize) with more to be announced. Booking advised as this show will absolutely and positively sell out.
