George Lindsay Band

The George Lindsay Blues Band are a regular visitor to the island led by the eponymous guitarist and vocalist George Lindsay this three piece play “nuthin’ but the blues” to quote their own calling card. George Lindsay has built a repertoire developed from his love of the blues particularly, and his experience of playing with so many accomplished blues artists throughout his playing career. One of his favourite impromptu jam sessions was with James Taylor on a beachside bench in St Tropez, which ironically resulted in neither of them knowing with whom they were playing at the time! George had to google a pic of James later to realise whose guitar he had borrowed, we are not sure whether James did the same!
However, the GLB are no one-trick pony, incorporating some rock funk and country genres within their blues framework. They are an accomplished band of musicians who have paid their blues dues and gig regularly around central Scotland. Dougie Henderson, the band’s drummer, is a former member of the 70’s band The Marmalade, particularly famous for their version of Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, as well as Cousin Norman, Reflections of my life amongst many others!
