Virgil & The Accelerators
A stunning young blues/rock trio who give an intense, tight and jaw dropping live performance ... They have to be witnessed to be believed.
A string of high profile support slots (9 Below Zero, Eric Sardinas, The Blues Band, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Kim Wilson plus others) has put them in front of the right people to take them to the next level. 2010 is the year the band will get wide recognition, with some high profile gigs, plus the New Generation UK Blues Tour with Oli Brown and Joanne Shaw Taylor.
The band has a rare ability to get into a song and turn it inside out. Live gigs are always full of surprises with Virgil often going off on his own thing with the confidence that Tom and Gabriel will be right with him. Standing ovations and encores are the norm, even for support roles. Something very exciting is a happening here that has not been seen for along time, so do not miss the chance to see these guys at Blues on the Farm!
“I have never seen a support band get a standing ovation and encore, Virgil is spectacular on guitar” Planet Rock (radio station)
“For such a young band the playing was as intuitive as it was spell binding. But above all Virgil & The Accelerators have an ability to get inside a song and turn it into something else. If in the fullness of time they can add more of their own songs they will really be on to something”. Pete Feenstra at getreadytorock.com
