The Electric Blues Duo was a musical formation founded in 1986 by the German guitarist Frank Diez and the British bassist Colin Hodgkinson. They got to know each other on the occasion of a production with Konstantin Wecker and very quickly discovered musical similarities. Other projects of different styles were in the foreground of her musical work. The Electric Blues Duo, however, serves the protagonists to pursue their deeply rooted predilection beyond their everyday musical life: the blues. During their existence they made well over 1,300 appearances. As internationally recognized artists, tours and concerts with John Mayall, Konstantin Wecker, Joan Baez, Mercedes Sosa, Miller Anderson, Tony Ashton, Cozy Powell, Spencer Davis and Jan Hammer and John Pearson were on the program. Both were also members of The British Blues Quintet. A milestone in 1990 was the appearance in front of over 90,000 spectators in Leipzig as Peter Maffay's special guests.
In 2006 they celebrated their 20th stage anniversary and released a best-of CD on this occasion. The "The Last Christmas Turkey Tour" 2013 was announced as a farewell tour and was seen as the end of joint live activities by Hodgkinson and Diez in this formation. On September 18, 2019, Frank Diez officially announced during a concert of the Electric Blues Duo in Berlin that this would now be their last public concert.
