Mister Doo

Mister Doo from Surrey delighted us all on Saturday afternoon with an al fresco concert at the Cliffburn Hotel. Song from Bessie Smith to Leadbelly were part of a considerable repertoire of good stuff.

What’s this? I hear you cry. “It’s too hot today, so I’ve left my leather pants at home!”

Mister Doo embraces the audience, and fills the room with his unreserved bluesy vocal, that would trick the Mississippi into thinking he lived there once.

With song writing inspirations from books, films, to the neighbour’s cat, you will not be disappointed. Mister Doo even has a song about ‘A cross-dressing fireman named Larry’

If you thought you could fall asleep with the gentle blues, you’d be quite mistaken! You can get all the ‘Jelly Roll’ you need from Mister Doo!! Don’t be a fool, go see for yourself!!!!

Is that a Monkey you got?

"Hello! I saw you play a gig in the Racehorse in Northampton, I went to see ... and I really wasn't expecting Delta Blues.. It was brilliant!"

"Firstly we have one man and his guitar, as it was in the beginning. Simple, mobile and actually a lot of fun. Mister Doo with his rendition of Albert King's 'Is that a Monkey You Got?. I can't remember if 'monkey' was a metaphor for problem. Well no problems here.

A good solid performance with skillful guitar playing. Steve Wells who is Mister Doo hails from Surbiton and plays blues in a 'raunchy, bouncy style with a hint of comedy and a healthy dose of sleaze'"

Is That A Monkey? always brings the house down, and an extraordinary solo version of Little Red Rooster is guaranteed to knock the audience sideways by it’s sheer power and guitar wizardry, but there’s more to Mister Doo than these 2 “big hitters”.

The real reason to go see Mister Doo, though is his blues – both the old classics like Blind Boy Fuller’s Walkin’ My Blues Away, Kid Bailey’s Mississippi Bottom Blues or Rev. Gary Davis’ She’s Funny That Way, or his own takes on the blues like Comfortable Blues, and Jelly Man. It really does sound like there’s more than one guitar being played at times – he plays bass lines, chords and solos all at the same time.
