JOHN MAYALL : La fin des BLUESBRAKERS

John à besoin de souffler, ce qui est compréhensible à 75 ans !

Dear Subscribers

As many of you have heard already, The Bluesbreakers have been
disbanded and John Mayall will start afresh next year with a new
lineup. Here is the note he has posted on the website:

Dear Fans and Friends:
As reports about the disbanding of the Bluesbreakers have been
circulating since the end of the last European tour, I have to
apologize for not announcing and confirming it sooner. Physically and
emotionally it has been a tough decision to make. The main reason is
that at age seventy five I want to cut back on my usual heavy workload
and also give myself freedom to work with other musicians if and when
I feel like it. Needless to say this doesnÂ't mean IÂ'll be abandoning
the blues but rather hoping to expand on it through guest appearances
and in the company with other musicians. Meanwhile I canÂ't thank Joe,
Hank and Buddy enough for all the great contributions theyÂ've made to
my musical journey thus far. It has been a great ride indeed.

In February I will be joining my friend Mark Hummel to take part in
another of his blues harmonica tours of the west coast and my new band
members for 2009 will be announced in due course after IÂ've taken
some time off to re-evaluate. This has been a difficult announcement
to make, but I hope you will all understand and look forward to what
new music I will have to offer in the new year.

Pour moi, l'un des tout meilleurs du blues-rock, confirmé par son récent concert à Caen avec entre autre un Buddy Whittington étincelant !
