Not The Same Old Blues Crap and The Luminaire are delighted to present Mud Morganfield, the first born son of Delta Blues legend Muddy Waters, with Big Joe Louis and The Blues Kings at The Luminaire on Thursday 19 March.

Just like his old man Mud Morganfield was a truck driver with a passion for music and in his spare time he would sing with various soul groups. As he grew older and particularly since his father's funeral in 1983 (where he met his half brother Bill Morganfield for the first time) he moved towards and finally embraced the blues. Mud is his fathers son, looking remarkably similar and possessed of a fine baritone voice in the tradition of Muddy Snr. Mud cut his teeth in the clubs of the Chicago Southside, but has until recently kept a low profile and quietly built a solid audience with childhood friends like Eddie Taylor Jr helping him out on the bandstand.

In July 2007 Mud stepped out into the limelight playing a show with Big Bill Morganfield at the Muddy Waters Memorial Festival in Westmont, Illinois and then straight on to his own set at the Chicago Blues Festival. He then released his debut record in 2008 and hasn't looked back.

Mud Morganfield's first UK shows in 2007 were a sell-out success and he has since toured throughout Europe, North America and South America. Mud's show at The Luminaire on Thursday 19 March will be his first ever London appearance so come and join us for a piece of living blues history.

Big Joe Louis is the corner stone of credible British blues. He was born in Jamaica, West Indies, and moved to the UK during the 1970s. The Blues Kings were formed 18 years ago and have taken their special kind of real down-home Blues to venues the length and breadth of the UK and Ireland and with great success in virtually every country in Western Europe and Scandinavia and the four corners of the globe. Big Joe Louis & His Blues Kings are the first choice of accompaniment for visiting American traditional/down-home Blues artists. His CV reads like a who's who of the great and the good ofblues and includes David Honeyboy Edwards, RL Burnside, Big Jack Johnson, Lazy Lester, Van Morrison, John Primer, Big Bad Smitty, Big Lucky Carter, Roosevelt "Booba" Barnes, Homesick James, Rev Charlie Jackson, Louisiana Red and whole bunch more.
