Formed  in 2004, the British Blues All Stars have been blazing a trail across the globe playing blues festivals from San Francisco to Notodden in Norway. Affectionately known by its members as the ‘Silver Shufflers’ the All Stars includes musicians who began their careers up to half a century ago and were responsible for the creation of the British Blues style that rocked the world.

Membership of this elite collaboration is by invitation only and offered to those who have made a major contribution to British Blues. Its participants can trace their musical roots to such seminal bands as; Fleetwood Mac, Manfred Mann, John Mayall’s Blues Breakers, Savoy Brown, Alexis Korner’s Blues Incorporated and many other legendary outfits.  The line-up varies with the commitments of its members, but The British Blues All-Stars always give an epic performance. Hear the full performance of the British Blues All Stars at Notodden Blues Festival on the Blue Label SPV 49692 released August 28, 2007.
