I this episode I will be talking to a well-known guitarist from my neck of the woods, we talk about Geoff’s collaborations with many great names from British music, Geoff also explains what impact the milkman from the Coop can have on your life.
In the early 1980s, more UK and Scandinavian tours followed and Everett was asked by Tony Ellis to join The Cafe Racers which included rhythm guitarist David Knopfler, following the departure of his brother Mark Knopfler.
At this time he joined Gerry McAvoy and Brendan O'Neil from the Rory Gallagher band in a three piece band called The Mosquitoes and played informal rhythm and blues gigs in pubs and clubs around London.
In the early 1990s, Everett formed a rock funk outfit called The Absolute who attracted a large following. During the late 1990s he toured with "A Band Named Sioux", The Cruising Mooses and The Rob King Band. The Mosquitoes also reformed as The Fabulous Mosquitoes. He also began to perform with his own Geoff Everett Band, which includes bassist Pete Shaw, also various drummers including Paul Robinson who has worked with Paul McCartney and Sam Kelly who played a short stint with Gary Moore.
During 2009 and 2010 the Geoff Everett Band performed in the UK, Greece, France and the Netherlands. During 2011 the band released the album Adult Show and kenttv.com broadcast an earlier concert recorded in Meteor, Greece.

The album was mastered by Jon Astley and released in the same year.
