The Starlite Campbell Band at The Half Moon, Putney

European blues awards nominees the Starlite Campbell Band are husband and wife Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell working as a four piece with some of the world’s finest musicians.

The band is steeped in British blues – think early Led Zeppelin, The Faces and Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. With contemporary original songs they have a sound and vibe reminiscent of the mid 60’s to early 70’s - the halcyon days of music.

Starlite and Campbell, who married after a whirlwind musical romance, released their debut album ‘Blueberry Pie’ to rave reviews worldwide and a prestigious nomination for Best Album in the European Blues Awards.

With extensive international radio play charting top 10 in the UK, Australia, The Netherlands and American Blues Charts and over 40 four and five star reviews worldwide, the band recently returned from a headlining a major international festival in their Australian debut.

From Suzy’s addictive, fun-loving bass groove and thunderous tone to Simon’s explosive vocals and fretwork, the band is joined by keyboard maestro Jonny Henderson on Hammond / Wurlitzer (Robben Ford / Matt Schofield) and shuffle-master Steve Gibson on drums (Chris Farlowe / Larry Garner).

Recently signed to the legendary Bepop agency (Netherlands) for all Benelux Festival dates, 2019 also sees the band tour internationally including a series of UK dates which includes The Met in Bury, The Forum in Darlington, The Greystones Sheffield and the legendary Half Moon in Putney.

“This was the real deal, scintillating stuff, Simon Campbell and Suzy Starlite are mad for the music, and mad for each other – and their enthusiasm is infectious...

And then – and then, folks – they close out with ‘Walkin’ Out The Door’, the opening track from Blueberry Pie. And this slice of mid-Sixties style soulful blues, with some wah-wah atmospherics, gradually morphs into Led Feckin’ Zeppelin, the riff tipping the hat to the likes of ‘How Many More Times’ while Starlite channels John Paul Jones with an increasingly mountainous bass line. And Campbell goes into mad axeman mode, conjuring up a howling guitar interlude with the aid of an old-fashioned echoplex box of tricks – real analogue tape, boys and girls – ahead of an echo-laden solo. Greta Van Fleet eat your juvenile hearts out.” Iain Cameron - Blues Enthused, UK
