Nine Below Zero in Newport

Nine Below Zero are a British rhythm-and-blues and blues-rock band formed in south London in 1977, originally as Stan’s Blues Band. Led by singer and guitarist Dennis Greaves and known for Mark Feltham’s harmonica, they built their early catalogue around the albums Live at the Marquee, Don’t Point Your Finger and Third Degree, including songs such as “Three Times Enough” and “Eleven Plus Eleven.” A 1980 performance at the Marquee Club became the band’s debut album and established live recording as a central part of their story. They supported The Who on a UK tour in 1981, then split in 1983. Nine Below Zero reunited in 1990 for a tenth-anniversary concert at the Town & Country Club.
