PROMOTER Mr H Presents knows how to sell a show. Well, Mr H is Tim Hornsby, former head honcho of Fibbers and The Duchess, after all.

Delighted at securing blues guitarist Peter Green for The Duchess tomorrow, he says: “So, there’s a legend in the house and a once-in-a-lifetime intimate show in York for which there are only 400 tickets – and the mighty Mostly Autumn in support as well – waddya want, blood?” he asks.

Having started from scratch again, Tim is building up a head of steam with “30 or so gigs around the place”, none bigger than Peter Green, the guitarist behind Fleetwood Mac’s Albatross and Green Manalishi.

“Peter Green & Friends is not a Fleetwood Mac tribute band, though not without classic Fleetwood material, but more a personal expression of one legendary musician’s travels through blues, R’n’B and soul in an exciting, unpredictable mix,” says Tim.

Green will be performing alongside rhythm guitarist Mike Dodd, keyboard player Geraint Watkins, stand-up bass player Matt Radford and drummer Andrew Flude.

Tickets cost £20 in advance on 0844 477 1000 or £22.50 on the door from 7.30pm.
