Nearly Dan

Less tribute and more homage to the jazz-influenced best sellers Steely Dan, Nearly Dan is saviour to the legions of Dan fans, desperate to hear the meticulously crafted grooves and allusive lyrical style of Donald Fagan, Walter Brecker et al. Their approach is faithful, though not reverential, and relaxed but as tight as their namesakes, and their uncannily precise imitations are testament to hours of rehearsal and a great deal of talent. Formed in 1997, the ten-strong Nearly Dan promise all the Steely Dan favourites in a two hour-plus show, featuring tracks from the groove of 'Countdown to Ecstasy' to the super cool of celebrated albums 'The Royal Scam' and 'Gaucho'. Set lists may also sample from Fagen's 'Nightfly'. Nearly Dan have toured constantly for 10 years, gaining critical acclaim for their performances in the UK and Europe.

Jim Kirkpatrick

Dubbed “England’s equivalent to Joe Bonnamassa” by Blues Matters, Jim Kirkpatrick has built up over a quarter-century’s experience in Blues and Rock and earned a tonne of respect from his fans, peers and critics alike. Not only is he a gifted songwriter (who’s written numerous nationally UK playlisted songs) but he’s also a deft-fingered, multi-skilled, guitarist who’s famed for possessing both Bonnamassa-type energy and slide guitar and fingerstyle - worthy of the great Duane Allman - as well. Jim is probably best-known as the lead guitarist of the legendary British melodic rock band FM, with whom he’s served since 2008. However, he’s also worked and toured with many other big hitters, worldwide, several of whom have collaborated with him on his solo material, such as Bernie Marsden and John ‘Rhino’ Edwards.
