Hot Vultures

Hot Vultures

Hot Vultures are a British folk-blues duo from the United Kingdom, made up of Ian A. Anderson and Maggie Holland. They work throughout much of the 1970s on the UK and European folk circuits, playing a distinctive English approach to blues, old-time country and selected modern songs.

The duo record three albums and, when possible, perform live with a wider group of musicians. Contributors include Martin Simpson, Dave Peabody, Simon Mayor, Hilary James, Mike Cooper, Pete Coe, Chris Coe, Al Jones and others. Hot Vultures later develop into The English Country Blues Band, with Ian A. Anderson, Maggie Holland and Rod Stradling as the core trio.

The English Country Blues Band

The English Country Blues Band adds regular members Chris Coe, Sue Harris and John Maxwell. Guest musicians on the band's albums include Nic Jones, John Kirkpatrick, Dave Peabody and Danny Stradling.
