We sadly lost Manchester Blues Legend Spider Mike King in January. A new video has emerged of Boxcar Blues, which regularly appeared in his live set.
The video was made by session guitarist John Scott, a member of the original Invisiblegirls' and played guitar in Spiders band on many occasions. Boxcar Blues was one of Spiders signature songs, often performed as the encore at his live shows.
We are considering putting a selection of live recordings together for a future album release.
Spider Mike King was a cornerstone of the Manchester blues scene for over five decades, known for his soulful voice and masterful guitar work. He collaborated with many artists, including Nico (Velevt Underground) and noteworthy musicians performed in his blues band. His presence will be deeply missed.
