Norman Beaker has been at the forefront of the British Blues scene for over 4 decades playing with:

Alexis Korner, Graham Bond, Jack Bruce, Tony Ashton, Paul Jones, Eric Burdon and many others.

As of 2017 Norman was inducted into the Blues Hall of fame®, a prestigious recognition indeed and only a handful of UK artists can claim the same, those being Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce to name just two!..

    Saw you with Chris Farlowe at the Borderline on 30/1/15. The gig was excellent – many thanks to Chris Farlowe and the Band. Question: who was the saxophonist that night? He was extraordinary, we’d love to catch his playing again.
