We are back gigging

Well finally we are out of lockdown and gigs are coming back. See our gig listing for new gigs. I would also like to welcome Mal Gillies to the band. Eric has moved on to other projects and Mal has agreed to join the band on Harmonica and Vox. We are looking forward to ramping things up this year and hopefully a new CD with David Rowlands on washboard.

Docklands Blues Fest

It has been a while since I have posted anything and it is now a New Year. I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. 2018 was a great year for us being in involved in three festivals and many new gigs. Hopefully 2019 will be just as good. I have just updated the gigs coming up so please check them out and come and say hello if you come along. The most exciting event for us though was the The District Docklands Blues Festival.

It’s a New Year

It has been a while since I have posted and updated the gig list. So check where are playing over the next couple of months. We have accepted into the St Albans Folk festival at the end of April so if you are free get along. I understand it is a great weekend with some great music.

It was a busy Christmas and New Year and we took a break during January. We are ready  and rearing to get back into playing again. The act is primarily a trio with David Rowlands playing regularly now on washboard. We have some originals coming and I have started recording for the next album. So hopefully this will be ready by the end of the year. I hope your year is going to be a good one and we hope to see you at one of our gigs.

BTW I also have an electric blues band ready to start work. Cutaway Blues. Keep an eye out for posts and hopefully a website to go along with it.
