Lamb started playing the harmonica during his childhood, inspired by Sonny Terry, and he was fortunate to meet and collaborate with him after beginning to perform in clubs by the age of fifteen. Paul Lamb has also worked with Mark Knopfler, The Who, Rod Stewart and Jimmy Nail, played on BBC and film soundtracks, and various television commercials in the UK.
Paul Lamb was more recently inducted into the British Blues Awards Hall Of Fame. Blues & Rhythm magazine described his band as "lazily cocksure and coolly aggressive".
With his new band, guitar player and songwriter How Askew has taken his modern blues sound to a whole new level – visceral electric guitar, shimmering acoustic and sweet dobro lines duet with his soulful vocals on self-penned songs swept along with the bristling energy of Richy Clarke on bass and Phil Muriel on drums.
Songs like ‘Law Dog’ are true life stories repainted in the imagery of the pre-war delta blues, a big influence evident in his slide guitar style – his sound has been described as “a wonderful concoction of old style blues, folky strums and some modern beats”.
Winner of the UK Blues Challenge 2018 and daughter of cult blues figure, Victor Brox, releases her ninth album, Pain & Glory, (29th March 2019). She represented Britain at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, January 2019.
“Kyla Brox knows how to handle the gears… the Mancunian vocalist lets songs percolate, raising the temperature by degrees, then giving it both barrels in the final stretch. It’s a thrilling tactic.” Henry Yates, The Blues Magazine

George Shovlin was inducted into the American Heritage Blues Hall Of Fame. He is an icon in local blues circles and throughly deserves his place in the Blues Hall Of Fame. George Shovlin and George Lamb…lead guitarist in the band…have played as a duo since the mid 1990s, in response to local NE demand but their blues/Americana performances have resulted in increasing recognition. They have now played a number of significant gigs as a duo, including Rievers Rock and Blues, Skegness, Colne and Southport Blues Festivals.
