about

RG Sessions presents... "If You're Going To The City", performed by Ruzz Evans (Guitar), Mike Hoddinott (Drums), Michael Gavaghan (Sax) and Richie Blake (Bass) and joined by special guests Pete Gage (Vocals + Keys), Innes Sibun (Guitar) and Jon Amor (Guitar).

Featured guests:

Pete Gage - www.petegagemusic.com/​
Worked as a musician since the mid-sixties, primarily as a blues vocalist, but also playing blues piano, guitar and harmonica. Not to be confused with the other Pete Gage, from Vinegar Joe. Pete's first break was in 1967 with iconic ex-Shadows bassist Jet Harris's band, playing the British club circuit.
​
Pete then moved on to the London blues circuit, fronting my own band Blues Faction and the blues/soul band The Blazers. Pete moved to the west country in the late 80's and teamed-up with local cult band ​The Pink Torpedoes, which included Paul Hartshorn - guitar, Pete Lowery - bass, and the formidable Dave Raeburn (later of The Hoax and Danny Bryant Blues Band) on drums.
​
When the legendary R&B band Dr Feelgood lost their frontman, Lee Brilleaux, to cancer, it was Dave Raeburn who recommended Pete to take up the challenge of stepping into Lee's shoes. He toured with the band for four and a half years throughout Europe, playing in excess of 200 gigs a year, whilst receiving warm accolades from die-hard fans as well as newer and younger fans. "On The Road Again" was the Dr Feelgood album to announce his arrival as Lee's replacement, and it still receives great reviews to this day.

In 1993 Innes was asked to join Robert Plant's band for his "Fate of nations" tour. The tour took in America, Europe & South America where they played the Rock in Rio festivals in Sao Paulo & Rio as well as playing in Argentina, Chile, Venezuela & Mexico. During the U.S dates Innes was able to meet & play with many of his blues heroes like Buddy Guy & James Cotton in Chicago, he also jammed at Antones blues club in Austin Texas with Tommy Shannon, Chris Layton, Chris Duarte & many other legends of the Austin blues scene. His guitar playing can be heard on Robert's "66 to Timbuktu" & "Nine lives" albums.

Following the tour with Robert Plant Innes made several albums for Viceroy records, "Superstitious" & "Honeypot" with his new band, they toured throughout Europe & opened up for Peter Green in New York as well as touring Europe with Roger Chapman & Chris Farlowe.
