Blue Bishops have served a decade and a half of hard-hitting blues/rock numbers to a dedicated and faithful following.
This band comprises a bunch of seasoned players who, between them, have worked with household names and global stars galore, ranging from Jethro Tull to Joan Armatrading to Kinks to Blancmange to Bill Wyman to Lene Lovich to Swinging Blue Jeans.
This formula means the Blue Bishops music is crafted, exciting, deep-rooted, ballsy and different, with enough early blues and enough late acid rock to turn every gig into an unforgettable rock’n'roll event.
The line-up:
- Geoff Grange Vocals, harmonica and guitar
- Simon Burrett Vocals, slide and other guitar
- Jim Rodford Bass guitar, vocals
- Justin Hildreth, drums
Long-time bassplayer, Martin Turner is replaced by the legendary Jim Rodford, to enable him to follow his Wishbone Ash dream ~ good luck, mate.
The 2nd album DEEP has the highly rated 9/10 review from ‘Blues in Britain’ and was nominated as one of the best albums of 2002.
An impromptu live album called “Bootleg”, made up of un-mixed tracks recorded “off the desk” in Oxford about a year ago, is ready and selling at gigs.
This fills a short gap before the new studio album entitled “The End is Listless”, is completed ~ just waiting for the final keyboard touches from Rod Argent, followed by mixdown and should be ready in the next few weeks.
The band goes from strength to strength into the future…
