About Me |
|
| Played for many years pro and semi pro,some great festivals including the main stage at The Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival ,The Bulldog Bash in Stratford,The T.T. races in The Isle Of Man, top blues venues, support(most memorable support slot was with The Healers opening for the legendary Peter Green with the late great Cozy Powell on drums , and the excellent Neil Murray on bass, great night),and various headline spots. Last band recorded and gigged with was Red Handed blues band , we recorded the Handful of Blues C D in one day,time is money,which ive never had much of. (which was played in an hour long show dedicated to Red Handed on Nick Dows Sunday night blues show on BBC Radio Lancashire, best prog. on the radio., Cheers Nick.) .3 tracks off the C D are on the player. The track too long lasts the night was co written by the four of us,our tribute to Lee Brilleaux One Step forward by D.Bronze, and our version of Free's Fire and Water, one of my favourite bands. Doin' a Deal , and Blues in F are a couple of my instrumental tracks featuring firstly Paul Randall (Bass) and Mark Yarwood (drums), and secondly the excellent Red Handed ryhthm section. Previous long term band was The Healers many a good gig and time was had during those years. Am now looking to join or form another band , and am getting The Healers out again, and am also open to suggestions. . I also give guitar lessons to anybody who wants them, and am studying at University Of Central Lancashire for a B A (hon) Degree in Music Practice . .. .. | |

Music:Member Since: 5/17/2007Band Members: Mark Thornley-Guitar..... Paul Randall-Bass...... Influences: from Freddie king to Eric Clapton, Jimi ,and B.B. and Muddy, Gary Moore and Rory and S R V,The Stones, Free, Jack Daniels, and too many more artists to mention, and of course ........ Sounds Like: This quote is from a music critic quoting someone else. (Many thanks for the kind words by the way.) A review once written about him whilst playing with The Healers in The Isle Of Man sums him up, to quote, " Mark Thornley's lead guitar playing is simply awsome, Bar-stool guitar critics will hear all kinds of influences in his playing but they are so cleverly crafted together with his own style that it leaves listeners in no doubt that he is one of those important players that pop up every now and then." Below is a review from The Blues Matters mag for Red Handed . Record Label: unsigned Type of Label: None |
