Cuby + Blizzards was one of the longest lasting Dutch bluesbands. The band was also known as Cuby & the Blizzards, with 'Cuby' also written as 'QB' and the ampersand (&) also written as 'and' or '+' and the 'and' sometimes left out. The spelling 'Cuby + Blizzards' was used on the first albums. The band was formed in Grolloo, Netherlands, 1964. Harry "Cuby" Muskee died on 26 September 2011. In 1967 they toured with Van Morrison (in lieu of his band Them), played with Eddie Boyd, scored a hit with Window of my Eyes and received an Edison award. That year, John Mayall stayed at their farm and the next year they regularly played with the 'king of British blues' Alexis Korner. The line-up of the band changed regularly, but founders Harry Muskee (vocals) and Eelco Gelling (guitar) remained at the core of the band, despite regular unsuccessful attempts to form other bands. Herman Brood was the pianist shortly in 1967 (which kick-started his career) and again in 1976. Late sixties line-up: Harry Muskee, vocals Eelco Gelling, guitar Herman Deinum, bass guitar Hans Lafaille, drums Helmig van der Vegt, piano User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
