The band formed in 2008 and have been gigging consistently since with them thrilling audiences in and around the local area, their roots are firmly set within the British blues sound with further gospel and funk influences revealing themselves within their sound.

The bands CD has been professionally packaged with a nice cardboard sleeve along with an inner four page booklet with information and quality photographs of the band, the artwork is a blue union jack just to make sure that you know when they bands roots lie. The album has really a nice laid back feel on a number of tracks and really creates a great blues ambience for the listener with the stunning voice of Hannah Robinson who really shines in all areas backed ably by her band of quality musicians. The guitar work is intricate and of a very high standard with a number of great solos along the lines of Gary Moore or Eric Clapton. If you love your Blues music or you just want a break form your normal style of music this is well worth a listen.
