Blues Section was a Finnish rock group that was active only for a year in 1967-1968, but it is considered to be a pioneer in Finnish rock. The band started with rhythm'n'blues but changed their style towards blues-jazz and psychedelic rock. 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.
