Yeah, British blues/rock band who've been around since the 70s. I've seen them once, well technically, twice--I'll explain:
During the 80s, Rory Gallagher's band consisted of Ted McKenna on drums and Gerry McAvoy on bass and, on stage, they were often joined by Mark Feltham (of Nine Below Zero) on harmonica. Sometime around 1991, Ted McKenna and Gerry McAvoy left Rory and joined NBZ. I went to see Nine Below Zero and realised I was actually looking at Rory Gallagher's late 80s line-up along with NBZ guitarist, Dennis Greaves.
Next thing you know, amidst an array of Rory tribute bands, a group comes along called "Band of Friends" who bill themselves as "Rory Gallagher's Band". I go along to see them and realise I'm actually looking at Nine Below Zero with a different guitarist! Dennis Greaves appeared on stage for a few numbers too so it was basically NBZ by a different name ;-)
