PapaMojo a potted history


by The Blindman, posted 31/03/08 17:09:00

Not many bands can claim to have played their debut gig at the biggest free Blues Event in Europe,
but PapaMojo did just that at the Dundee Blues Bonanza.
Not only making their debut there but playing at one of the choicest venues in the event.
Such is the reputation of these guys that they were booked for the event unheard and unseen.

Since then the Band has received critical aclaim on both sides of the Atlantic not least from Fred Bolder grandnephew of Mississippi John Hurt who wrote:
[quote] "You guys perform some outstanding music, as far as I'm concerned, PapaMojo is a bunch of personable, highly skilled, and experienced musicians who perform the kind of music that I enjoy at an exceptional level."
No mean praise indeed from a man who travelled to most of the 60.s Blues revival festivals with John Hurt.

Billy (The Blindman) was inducted into The Blues Hall of Fame in July 2007

After the demise of the Legendary Barrelhouse Blues Band, the nucleus of that band
Dave "Barrelhouse" Blair (Bass/ Vocals), Stefan "Kos" Kocemba (Guitar/ Slide Guitar/Vocals)
Billy "Blindman" Allardyce (Drums) and Bruce McKenzie (sound engineer) decided to
put together PapaMojo a three piece Blues Band.

Where The Barrelhouse Blues Band had been a Five Piece "In your face" band,
PapaMojo show a more subtle approach, showcasing Stefan's talents on Slide and Guitar and the
uncanny intuition and rapport that exists between Stefan and Billy on Drums after a 40+ year partnership.
This intuition coupled with the bass patterns laid down by Dave on Bass makes for a more
rhythmic exciting and infectious sound.

When these veterans of the Scottish Blues and Blues/Rock scene get going,
if your feet aren't tapping, You're Dead!
