Robbie McIntosh returns to his home town of Sutton! Throughout his long career Robbie had spells in The Pretenders, Paul McCartney’s band, Norah Jones, John Mayer, Tom Jones, Sinead O’Connor, Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler and has done much session work: Talk Talk, Tears For Fears, Roger Daltrey, Paul Young, Bill Wyman, Cher, Mike and The Mechanics, Paul Carrack and many more.
The Robbie McIntosh Band has existed in name since 1997 with only Robbie himself and drummer Paul Beavis remaining from the original line up. Robbie’s long time friends and collaborators Stephen Darrell Smith (keyboards, co-producer) and Steve Wilson (bass guitar) along with legendary harmonica man Peter Hope-Evans and, just as legendary, percussionist Jody Linscott complete the current line up.Robbie McIntosh’s ‘blues’ tinged songwriting draws from many influences; Little Feat, Ry Cooder, John Martyn, Bob Dylan and should appeal to blues stalwarts and fans of singer songwriters alike. Some old favourites are thrown into the mix too.
As session players, sidemen (and woman) combined credits of the band amount to quite a large, star studded list including Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, The Who, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Medicine Head, Norah Jones, Dido, Elton John, Tom Jones, Bad Company, John Mayer, Robert Palmer, Andy Fairweather-Lowe, Kokomo, Robert Fripp, Tears For Fears, Bill Wyman and many more.
