Cult South London blues-rockers who signed to A&M, headlined the Hammersmith Odeon and stormed the very first episode of The Young Ones.
Formed in South London in 1977 by guitarist and singer Dennis Greaves and harmonica player Mark Feltham, Nine Below Zero took their name from a Sonny Boy Williamson song and built a fierce live reputation on the capital's pub and club circuit. Signing to A&M Records, they made the bold move of releasing a live album, Live at the Marquee (1980), as their debut, then went from packing out the Marquee to headlining the Hammersmith Odeon with support from Jools Holland. Their studio records Don't Point Your Finger (1981), produced by the legendary Glyn Johns, and Third Degree (1982) captured a band bursting with energy.
Along the way they shared stages with The Who, The Kinks, Eric Clapton, Brian May and Chuck Berry, appeared on The Old Grey Whistle Test and the South Bank Show, and famously performed "11+11" on the very first episode of The Young Ones. Decades on, still led by Greaves and Feltham, they remain one of Britain's best-loved rhythm and blues bands, playing everywhere from packed clubs to the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury.
