Mumbles Mostly Jazz and Blues

Loved playing to such a great crowd, making new friends at the Mostly Mumbles festival yesterday. Thanks to the organisers and Slims Blues who made this possible. Hope you enjoy clips!
from the second set which turned into a party!. Love to see folks enjoying themselves so much, any time of day! Keen to add to the country boy feel of this Albert lee headlined event, we gave sheepdog blues a run out Cheers SHM

Swing into Spring - sell out!

The spring spectacular with Foo Foo and her delicious dance troop was a complete sell out at The Globe in Cardiff. The venue lived up to its growing reputation, the decor gave the evening a "Dusk till Dawn" feel. Keep an eye on Foo Foo's site for more content in due course. We were delighted to have Mansel Davies on Bass and Chris Thomas on keys for this show. Chris will be joining us at Blues Clubs, festivals coming up. We are also pleased to be joining Foo Foo and her team for a show at Fat Cats Revue Bar in Cardiff 25th June. More details to follow, meanwhile, with kind permission, here is a solo dance performed by Miss Cherie Amour (apols for the audio quality!). As you can see, memories of this extreme music, dance goddessness will remain for a long time.

Pro bass player Mal Preest joins SHM

We are really pleased to announce Mal Preest has joined SHM. Mal got a spanish guitar at 11 and played it as a four string until he could afford a bass. At 13 Mal's dad got him a Selmer Treble and Bass 50 ( as used by Luke today) along with a battered 4x12 cab and he was hooked! Mal turned pro at 17 and toured the UK and europe with names including Wales own Elvis, Shakin Stevens. Mal has also enjoyed plenty of Film and TV parts in stuff like the Bill, Eastenders, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and has also in S4C'S welsh language soap opera 'POBOL Y CWM'. Mal grew up musically listening to Lightnin' Hopkins, Lee Hooker, Mayal, Cream and has been looking to find a band with the right feel and soul of the Blues. We are delighted such a kick ass bass player Mal has joined SHM. Mal's kit includes a Fender Jazz bass USA 1967 he's had since he was 19, a Fender USA Stu Hamm Urge ii Signature Bass, Fender USA Precision 1997, Warwick Corvette Proline bass 1990, West german Fender Squire Jazz Bass Japan 1987 with Ampeg SVT 300 Classic 300 Watt Tube Head, Hughes and Kettner QC415 15" 400 watt Combo/Extension cab, Hughes and Kettner 900 Watt 4x10. Mal's first run out with us was last Sat at the Cross Keys. The crowd were determined to get as much high energy rock and roll as we had ready with Mal, so after several encores feedback was "Best Bass sound ever heard in there". Nuff said.

Damn right they got the Blues

Every musician wants to play to an appreciative audience. None are more so than at the fantastic Blues Dragon Club. Enjoy the vocal talents of a few members as they sing the Blues with us on the classic Stormy Monday,
They know and love the Blues and certainly made all of us, including a new member of the band ( more on that to follow) very welcome. So thanks to the Blues Dragon Club for inviting us to play again. In the second set we were joined by Mr Jamie Wilkin, here is a song he was inspired by only a few years ago!

All your Love. - John Mayall Bluesbreakers.

Possibly inspired by the forthcoming burlesque show, we hope you like our interpretation of this song

Have you ever loved a Woman - Billy Myles
