In the past 25 years the band have played all around the world in venues ranging from intimate clubs through civic halls and theatres, and have wowed festival audiences in many countries including headline appearances at Glastonbury.

Whilst not unique in being the only band to have survived together for 25 years they are one of the few outfits to have consistently recorded new material throughout such a long career, and whilst staying true to their blues roots have constantly developed their music & redefined their approach on several occasions.

'Stepping Out' released in 2002 saw a return to the band's basic five-piece line-up with the double barrelled vocal frontline of Paul Jones and Dave Kelly being joined by Tom McGuinness and Gary Fletcher both singing lead on a couple of songs.

With four singers and songwriters in the band the quality and variety of performance and material offered by The Blues Band is pretty much unrivalled either in the blues world or elsewhere, driven by the inspirational drumming of Rob Townsend, the band's passion and reverence for the music, their presentation and showmanship all combine to deliver the definitive 'good night out'
