It’s hard to believe that the first Supergroup, Cream, with Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, were only together for three years.

They notched up some rock anthems, such as Sunshine Of Your Love, White Room, Strange Brew, I Feel Free, and Crossroads, that are still taught in rock schools up and down the country.

Today their sons Kofi Baker and Malcolm Bruce have picked up the rock torch and are carrying the flame of Cream music to another generation, including a gig in Swindon on Saturday.

Taking up the Eric Clapton slot on guitar and vocals is Will Johns, son of the record producer and engineer Andy Johns. Will taught himself guitar with advice from his famous Uncle Eric.

“Eric was very encouraging when I first started messing around with guitar. He showed me how to play the opening riff to Crossroads. I mastered that, and then I asked him to show me the next bit. He told to figure that out for myself.’’ Kofi follows in his dad’s footsteps with the complex polyrhythms on drums. He first appeared with Ginger on TV in the Old Grey Whistle Test when he was just six-years-old.

The trio recreate the magic of Cream but also add their own distinctive style to the music.

Sons of Cream come to Swindon’s Arts Centre, Devizes Road, Old Town, on Saturday, February 15 at 8pm. Tickets are £15 and concessions £13 from 01793 614837. - Flicky Harrison
