About this Event

Nine Below Zero



"Live at the Marquee" Tour 2018



The Iconic Debut Album performed with an 8 Piece Band for the first time ever!



One of the UK's finest Rhythm & Blues Bands, Nine Below Zero, formed in 1979 and named themselves after the famous Sonny Boy Williamson song. In 1980 they signed to A&M Records and released the seminal "Live at the Marquee" album. By the end of that year they had moved from selling out the Marquee to selling out the Hammersmith Odeon. In 1981 their first studio album "Don't point your finger" was released and the band play alongside The Kinks & The Who. They also make appearances on the Old Grey Whistle Test and the South Bank show. In 1982 they appeared on "The Young Ones" with the track "Eleven + Eleven" before releasing arguably their finest album "Third Degree" which features such tracks as "Wipe away your Kiss" & "You can't say yes and you can't say no". The album's iconic image was taken by none other than David Bailey.



In 1983 Dennis Greaves left to form The Truth and it is not until 1990 when Nine Below Zero got back together for a sell out 10th Anniversary Concert at the Town & Country Club. Since then the band have played alongside Chuck Berry, Brian May, Eric Clapton, Ray Davies, Bruce Willis, Jools Holland & Glenn Tilbrook.
