Details

In Nov 2010, Brad and Lloyd (sons of the legendary Pirates’ guitarist and veteran session man, Mick Green), joined forces with ex-Pirates’ drummer Mike Roberts to form The Green Brothers. Their first performance (and Brad's first ever gig after only taking the guitar up a couple of months earlier!) was to a packed audience at the tribute concert for their late father at the famous 100 Club. They were joined on stage by Pirates’ vocalist Johnny Spence and support acts included The Animals and The Wilko Johnson Band.

Following the success of that night, the boys changed the name of the band to Sons of Pirates and set about recruiting a singer and after many auditions found the perfect shipmate in a cheeky Essex chappy. Dean’s soulful, bluesy, gravelly voice and dynamic personality, combined with the band’s own unique powerful rhythm and blues, makes Sons of Pirates a real tour de force.

Brad’s simultaneous rhythm and lead playing has been described as ‘reproducing Mick’s style with unnerving accuracy’ with even Wilko Johnson himself remarking 'He's managed to achieve in a few months what I’ve failed to do in over 30 years!’ And laying down the solid foundation for Dean and Brad is the powerful ‘engine room’ of Lloyd Green on bass and Mike Roberts on drums.

Sons of Pirates are truly a powerful combo who relentlessly blast out full throttle 70’s style R&B/Garage Rock at a blistering pace. Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the ride!
