Nine Below Zero

Nine Below Zero is an English blues-rock band formed in South London in 1977 by guitarist and vocalist Dennis Greaves, alongside bassist Peter Clark, drummer Kenny Bradley, and harmonica player Mark Feltham. Originally called "Stan's Blues Band," they renamed themselves Nine Below Zero in 1979 after a Sonny Boy Williamson II song. Their 1980 debut "Live at the Marquee" and the Glyn Johns-produced "Don't Point Your Finger" (1981, UK #56) established them as leaders of the early-80s British R&B revival. They headlined Hammersmith Odeon and supported The Kinks and The Who on tour. The band split in the mid-1980s, with Feltham becoming a prolific session harmonica player working notably with Rory Gallagher. They reunited and have continued in various configurations over the decades, with founding members Greaves and Feltham remaining the core. Nine Below Zero maintain a cult following throughout Europe and continue to tour the UK, Scandinavia, and the continent regularly.
