LIAM GRUNDY AND PETE PRITCHARD PRESENTS
JAMES BURTON AND BILLY SWAN IN CONCERT WITH THE GRUNDY PRITCHARD BAND
James Burton
James Burton is one of the most important and respected guitarists in the world. For six decades he has created magic both in the studio and on stage.
Best known for his work as guitarist and bandleader for Elvis Presley in the legendary T.C. B Band, his career started at just fifteen when he supplied the classic guitar lines on ?Suzi Q? by Dale Hawkins. He went on to work with Bob Luman, Ricky Nelson, Gram Parson, Jerry Lee Lewis and Emmylou Harris among many others.
This tour of the UK and Ireland highlights will feature his classic recordings and deliver an unforgettable evening of music by a true innovator and major musical force in contemporary music
Billy Swan
Billy Swan is a singer, songwriter, producer and musician from Nashville Tennessee. He wrote the classic Clyde McPhatter hit ?Lover please? when he was just fifteen years old. Best known for his international number one hit ?I Can Help,? Billy toured extensively with Kris Kristofferson and produced many great hits including ?Polk Salad Annie? for Tony Joe White.
Although James and Billy have been friends for many years, this is the first time that these two great artistes have had the opportunity to perform together live on stage. Seeing these legends performing in such intimate venues will make this the must see concert of the year.
