The Mosquitos
แชร์
British rhythm and blues � The Mosquitos are unique in British R ‘n’ B. The idea for the band was Nick Rowbotham’s, back in 1978.
Made up from a pool of musicians, The Mosquitos transcend the standard R ‘n’ B format, pushing the boundaries of what they play to new, and dare I say exciting, heights of musicianship and musical enjoyment. This approach has not always been popular with serious R ‘n’ B fans and because of this The Mosquitos have always drawn from a wider audience of music fans. The original concept, which still works today, was to use musicians of various musical backgrounds and experience to work with original material and classic R ‘n’ B tunes. Based around Nick’s vocals and harmonica, a selection of musicians will be put together based on who is available at the time, for example, Nick Rowbotham, guitarists Steve Aaron ,Steve Walwyn and Pete Gardener from traditional R ‘n’ B, with bass players Chris Wright and Horace Panter from ska/2-Tone and drummer Andy Bentley from a Rock Blues background .This gives an edge to the music that most bands will never achieve. An alternative line-up might include blues/rock and fiddle player Martin Bell whose roots lie in electric folk. Rehearsals are kept to a minimum which also adds to the excitement of the music played. The Mosquitos started gigging again in 2011. Once a year, when Nick returns from his home in Thailand, the call goes out to see who is available. The first year the Mosquitos performed for a month, the next year two months and in 2014 it’s certainly three months, and possibly four, as the gigs pour in. Locally they have started to generate huge interest which is starting to spread to a wider area and fan base. So come and join the malarky that is The Mosquitos!

Never knew this …
Dr John: Working at these places, I first got hipped to how lottery slang had spilled over to the music biz. A gig, for instance, was originally the mob term for a lottery bet—you'd place a dime gig, a nickel gig. Musicians turned this around to mean a date to play music. The word ax was another: To a musician, your ax was your instrument. Years ago, they told me, if they wanted to **** up another lottery company they'd bring actual axes in and tear the place up. Later, to keep what they were doing sounding cool, they called the tools of their trade—rifles, sh****ns, machine guns—their axes. That's the way musicians borrowed the word. If something was "in the bag," it meant that money from a bet or gambling operation had been collected. Musicians borrowed this term to signify a musical bag or groove we were in. There were so many words like that, it blew me away.
