“Key shattering Boogie Woogie” is how the Guardian newspaper described Ben Waters after a concert at Ronnie Scott’s—known for energetic performances and powerful renditions of early boogie-woogie and Rock n’ Roll. Waters always plays music that he loves, the music of his heroes Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Amos Milburn, Little Richard, Ian Stewart and a host of other piano players. This is the music that makes him happy! This is why he dropped out of school to go on tour with Shakin Stevens. This is why he has devoted 35 years to touring the world, a devotion that’s not about fame, money or popularity, just about getting the music right!
Funnily enough, this nonchalance to fame and focusing on the music he loves has led Waters to work with some of the biggest names in the world.
Jools Holland, Shakin Stevens, Cher, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Imelda May, Mick Hucknall, Johnny Depp and many more

The Marquee Club’s history is closely intertwined with Ealing. A few hundred metres from The Questors Theatre sits the original location of the Ealing Club – The Traditional Home of British Rhythm & Blues from where Alexis Korner & Cyril Davies kickstarted the British Blues Boom of the 1960’s. Their success opened doors for ‘electric blues guitar’ at the Marquee ‘Jazz’ Club & others that were reluctant to host amplified blues guitar. The Ealing Club became a launch pad for The Rolling Stones, The Who, Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton, Paul Jones, Jimi Hendrix and many more.
