From Event details at indublin.ie!: With a musical career spanning over fifty years Mayall’s most notable episode in it occurred during the late '60s when he founded John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. The blues legend has also been influential in the careers of many instrumentalists, including Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood and many more. The Bluesbreakers who were formed in January 1963 became one of most recognized blues bands in the world with an ever-evolving lineup of more than 100 different combinations of musicians performing under that name. Eric Clapton joined in 1965 just a few months after the release of their first album and brought the blues influences to the forefront of the group, as he had left The Yardbirds in order to play the blues.

Clapton and Jack Bruce later left the group to form Cream and Clapton was replaced by Peter Green for A Hard Road, after which he left to form Fleetwood Mac. Finally, in 1969, the third Bluesbreaker-guitarist departed when Mick Taylor joined the Rolling Stones.

By the time the 1960s were over, the Bluesbreakers had finally achieved some success in the United States. With some interruptions, the Bluesbreakers have continued to tour and release albums (over 50 to date). In 2003, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor and Chris Barber reunited with the band for John Mayall's 70th Birthday Concert in Liverpool — the concert was later released on CD and DVD.

Irish blues rock band The Deans will be opening for John Mayall on the night!
