Bill Nelson And The Gentlemen Rocketeers

Overview

At the end of March 2011, Bill Nelson and the Gentlemen Rocketeers, along with one hundred plus guests, populated Studio A at Metropolis, West London, for a dynamite concert reminiscent of the Marquee club in its heyday. A blistering fourteen song set from the band, which covers much of Bill’s career to date, was the result. We’re delighted to present that set here, together with an interview with Bill and a sublime four track solo set. Wielding an array of gorgeous-looking guitars, Bill and his cohorts treated those present to a fantastic show, notable particularly for the fact that they performed a number of rarely heard Bebop Deluxe numbers - classics such as Night Creatures, Maid In Heaven, Adventures In A Yorkshire Landscape and Ships In the Night.
