THE Rolling Stones’ Mick Taylor is one of two respected Blues guitarists playing at the Cavern next month.
Generally regarded as the unsung hero behind the greatest Stones incarnation, he will be joined by Stephen Dale Petit, whose Guitararama debut was voted Guitar Magazine Album of the Year 2008.
“Blues music is becoming more and more popular than it ever was,” says Mick.
“I'm always meeting people on the road who are really young and are guitar players.”
Stephen has shared stages with BB and Albert King, The Clash’s Mick Jones, David Gilmour of Pink Floyd, The Pretty Things’ Phil May and Eric Clapton.
He says: “Mick was a hero of mine when I was a kid. His tone and fluid melodic lines made a huge impact on me.”
THE New Blues Crusade Tour visits The Cavern on Thursday, May 7.
