Georgie Fame sang at this year’s Bluesfest at Royal Albert Hall in London on October 29, 2014. Looking back at a career spanning over 50 years, Fame opened his set with an impressive version of “Green Onions.” Throughout the rest of the performance, Fame played a masterful Hammond B3 organ, backed by his five-piece band, including his son James on drums.

The band:

Georgie Fame-vocals, Hammond B3 organ

Alan Skidmore-sax

Guy Barker-trumpet

Lewis Wright-vibes

Alec Dankworth-bass

James Powell-drums
