About Me

If you dont know who The Yardbirds are then I certainly dont have the time to explain it all to you! Today the Yardbirds consist of founding members Jim McCarty (drums) and Chris Dreja( rhythm guitar) alonside Ben King on lead guitar. The band is currently replacing the John Idan their long time bass player and vocalist. Top secret auditions now on going!Most of the songs you are hearing on this page are from the 1999 Mooreland Street Records release of 'The Yardbirds Reunion Jam' featuring McCarty, Dreja, John Idan and Rod Demick. Recorded live at The 100 Club in London. The album is no longer available as a CD but is available as a digital download at iTunes, Napster, Amazon.Com and many other digital distributors.
