Playing all styles from Chicago Blues to Texas Blues and most recently bending the rules a little and producing some Blues Rock. We started off as just 4 musicians getting together so we could jam, and we grew from there. Regular sunday jams led to the reformation of the previously very popular "Venus Blues Band". We are a band specialising in the Blues Genre. We are not a "Pub rock" Band. Though we do some covers when required for dance.Many people confuse Blues with Jazz . We can accomodate venues from Hotels to more formal events as well as supporting community events.
