History

Silver Street Band

Jim Crawford is something of a blues enigma. Originally from Lancashire he now resides in Appledore on the North Devon coast. A shy and retiring man who readily admits that recording studios fill him with dread and that he'd rather go fishing with his dog for company, has, none the less, toured much of Europe and the U.S.A captivating audiences with his intimate blues style.

Softly spoken, Jim totally surprises his audience when he breaks into a number with a resonant, barrelhouse blues vocal and for years has been revered among professional musicians as a consummate finger picker and slide guitarist. He first came to the attention of a wider blues audience when invited to record a session for the BBC's Paul Jones Show. When quizzed by Mr. Jones about recent concert work we glimpsed the sense of humour that lights up Jims live shows when he wryly replied, " I've just played at the Appledore school fete where I was second in the popularity stakes to a bouncy castle!"
