The band lineup was completed by Derek in late 2012 with rehearsals starting in earnest at the end of December as the Bare Knuckle Blues Band was born. Moving into 2013 things have moved along nice and quickly; the band has now played 7 shows around Cornwall and as far afield as the Great British Guitar Show in Birmingham. There’s a full summer of gigs booked throughout the county and we’re set to introduce new material as we go, starting with the shows at The Brit in St.Austell(20th April)and the Social Club in Constantine(27th April).

We’ve now got 4 gigs under our belt and we’re delighted with the way we’ve been steadily improving. We’re quite a critical bunch when it comes to our playing and performance because it’s all about you as far as we are concerned. We’re ambitious and want to ensure every performance is better than the last, giving you a great night out, better than anything else you’ll find around in the Blues Rock scene.

Next step up is to record a three track demo of a few covers so we can ping that around and spread our wings a little. We’re also about to start writing our own material and we’ll update you on more of that soon.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks a lot for checking us out, we’re delighted to be up and running.

Stay tuned for our gig news and watch this space for news of a forth coming album, we are about to lock ourselves away and get busy on that.
