Formed to mark the 60th anniversary of John Mayall’s Blues Breakers with
Eric Clapton, Sonny Flint’s Beano Bluesbreakers, is a tribute to one of the
most influential recordings in British blues history. The project is
dedicated to faithfully recreating the sound, feel and musical intent of the original album, which helped define the UK’s electric blues movement.
The band’s approach is rooted in authenticity, and its performances closely
follow the original arrangements, with careful attention paid to tone,
dynamics, and period detail. Neil Roberts recreates Eric Clapton’s landmark
guitar work using Gibson guitars and Marshall amplifiers, while Sonny Flint
plays a vintage Premier 54 Outfit drum kit consistent with the era. Vintage
keyboard sounds, bass tones and harmonica complete a sound palette designed
to reflect the character of the original sessions.
The project is further distinguished by its direct musical heritage. Sonny
Flint is the son of Hughie Flint, the original drummer on the album,
bringing a rare generational connection to the music itself. Vocalist Laine
Hines is the son of Denny Laine, whose work with The Moody Blues and Wings
places him firmly within the lineage of British blues and rock. These
connections add depth and perspective to a project built on respect,
understanding and lived experience.
As the album reaches its 60th anniversary, Sonny Flint’s Beano
Bluesbreakers offers audiences the opportunity to hear this landmark
recording performed in full, plus additional songs from the original live
set, with precision, restraint and deep reverence for its place in music
history
