Blues Section are a Finnish rock music group. They started in 1967, formed around the vocalist Jim

Pembroke, a British expatriate song-writer now living in Finland. The other members of the band were

Eero Koivistoinen (saxophone), Ronnie Österberg (drums), Hasse Walli (guitar), and Måns Groundstroem

(bass). Their influences came above all from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and Jimi Hendrix, who had

played a gig in Helsinki in May 1967. One can also hear in Pembroke's British-flavoured song-writing

some echoes from The Beatles and The Kinks. Blues Section released a self-titled album late 1967 on

Helsinki's Love Records. In 1968 Groundstroem and Pembroke left the band, being replaced by Pekka

Sarmanto and (another British vocalist) Frank Robson, respectively. Also Koivistoinen would leave the

band during the same year, and by the end of 1968 Blues Section was over. The Blues Section members

would continue in such acclaimed progressive rock bands as Wigwam and Tasavallan Presidentti. Eero

Koivistoinen was to become an internationally acclaimed jazz musician, and Hasse Walli would discover

world music, playing in such bands as Piirpauke.
