Multi-Award winning Blues Diva ‘Dana Gillespie' has been touring the world as the true ambassador of the risqué blues. With over 50 albums to her credit, a self-styled Music Festival in Mustique, support to Bob Dylan, hit shows in London's West End, at the Edinburgh Festival, and many other Festivals throughout Europe, the Middle East, India, and beyond, Dana is truly an International Blues legend.

Dana recorded her first album at the age of 15. Her music has evolved from folk in the 60s through 70s Bowie-esque glam-rock to the raunchy in-your-face blues she performs today. Voted 'Top British Female Blues Vocalist' by the British Blues Connection and Blueprint Magazine between 1992 and 1996 she has now been elevated into their Hall Of Fame.
Dana Gillespie has been dedicated to the blues from an early age. She has recorded with Donovan and toured with Bob Dylan, an old friend of hers. In 1973 David Bowie's company 'Mainman' managed her career. Dana toured extensively in the US, Europe and India and has hosted music radio shows in New York and Austria.

Dana has appeared in many London's West End theatres. Shows include the first run of Jesus Christ Superstar (playing Mary Magdalene), The Who's "Tommy" (playing the Acid Queen) and the rock Othello, "Catch My Soul". She also appeared with Dudley Moore and Peter Cook in the film version of "The Hound Of The Baskervilles" and starred in Ken Russell's "Mahler".

Through the years Dana gained the title of "British Queen of Blues" and she works in Italy with bluesman Mike Sponza, without doubt one of the most outstanding Italian blues artists of the last years.

Throught the years, Mike Sponza developes a personal sound, since his discographic debut in 1997 that shows the interest for the research of a personal style with common lines in the voice and guitar. Inspiring artists are Robert Cray, Lucky Peterson, Joe Louis Walker, John Mayall, Keb 'Mo...
Mike forms his new band in 2004, based on the "organ trio" format: but the sound does not belong to the past! Actually, again, contemporary blues is the key word of the show; original tunes are blended with a modern repertoire rooted in soul, R&B and acoustic sounds. The Band is touring extensively in the Central Europe area.
