Marshall Group, home to the famous Marshall amps which was founded in Hanwell, is launching its latest record release at this weekend’s Ealing Blues Festival (27 July 2024 – 28 July 2024) taking place in Walpole Park.
The new record, Living The Blues by Terry Marshall and Friends features some of the UK’s top blues musicians and performers including Robert Hokum founder of the Festival along with other talented artists High Budden, Robin Bibi, Zoe Schwartz, Geoff Garbow and Emma Wilson.
Terry Marshall, son of the late founder of Marshall, Jim Marshall said: “Every musician on Living The Blues I’ve played with on stage, so it was just like meeting with mates. I asked the singers what songs they’d like to sing on the day, and we’d make an arrangement on the spot and then get a take.”
Mr Marshall added: “We recorded all those tracks in four days – I didn’t want any rehearsals. I wanted the singer to feel relaxed, and because all the people we had on there were jammers, I knew it would work.”
Robert Hokum said: “It’s fitting that Marshall should launch its latest venture close to where it all started for them at the Ealing Blues Club in 1963. That’s where the classic ‘loud’ Marshall JTM45 guitar amplifier was first heard in public.”
