The John Dummer Band also known as John Dummer's Blues Band, John Dummer's Famous Music Band, John Dummer's Ooblee Dooblee Band and The John Dummer Band Featuring Nick Pickett was a British blues band, of the 1960s and 70s, who "hung forever on the cusp of a major step forward, but never quite made it". It was noted for its extensive roster of members, including Graham Bond, Dave Kelly, Jo Ann Kelly, Tony McPhee and Pick Withers, and for supporting US bluesmen such as Howlin' Wolf and John Lee Hooker on UK tours.

The band was formed by drummer John Dummer (born 19 November 1944, Surbiton, Surrey). He formed Lester Square and the G.T's in 1963, and toured the UK and Germany for 2 years, before briefly leaving the music industry. He formed the John Dummer Blues Band in 1967. The original line up included Dummer (drums); Dave Kelly and Roger Pearce (guitar); Tony Walker (bass); and Steve Rye (harmonica). Walker, Rye and Pearce left and Bob Hall (piano), John O'Leary (harmonica) and Iain "Thunder" Thompson (bass) joined. The band then turned professional and Tony McPhee joined, before they recorded their first album Cabal (1968). Soon after, McPhee left to reform The Groundhogs being replaced by Adrian Pietryga for the second album John Dummer Band.

After the third album the band "drifted apart", only to reform when they discovered that their song "Nine By Nine" from their third album was #1 in France. By the next album Blue (1972) the band had reduced to a four-piece (Dummer, Pickett, Pietryga and Thompson). Oobleedoobleejubilee (1973) again included the Kelly siblings, along with Michael Evans (violin) and Roger Brown (vocals). The next album, also including Graham Bond (sax), Pick Withers (drums), Pete Emery (guitar) and Colin Earl (Foghat) (keyboards) was shelved, and the band broke up in 1974, the last album was finally released in 2008 as the Lost 1973 Album. /Wikipedia
