Playing the Blues for your function
We are a guitar orientated rhythm and blues blues band playing a variety of blues and rock & roll numbers from traditional to contemporary. We can play any particular songs if requested in advance.
It all started when we put together a blues band for a recent function taking the blues numbers from our U-Turn band and adding in Old Wave Tim’s blues numbers to play for an hour and a half.
Typical line up would be rhythm guitar/vocals, vocals/harmonica, lead guitar, bass and drums. We are able to add other elements such as brass and guest musicians if required and available. We are all experienced musicians who play regularly.
We have all our own equipment so just require power and a suitable dry place to play.
