Blues/rock band The Hoax play in their home town of Devizes tonight – 20 years to the day from the release of their first album.
Our picture of Mark Barrett, Robin Davey, Jon Amor, Jesse Davey and Hugh Coltman was taken at their first ever professional gig in Urchfont in 1991.
They play at the Corn Exchange tonight at the end of a short European tour which has included dates in the Netherlands, Belgium and at the Blues Fest in the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday.
One online reviewer said of their album Recession Blues: A Tribute To B B King: “The twin guitars of Jesse Davey and Jon Amor are absolutely on fire throughout the entire set, singer Hugh Coltman’s voice has never sounded better, and the rhythm section of Robin Davey on bass and Mark Barrett on drums are rock solid.
“Complemented by a smokin’ horn section and keyboards for this recording, the band really gives the listener the impression that they all really love these songs, and their idol.”
Tickets for the gig are £15 from Devizes Books or www.thehoax.co.uk
