" ... they are on the cutting edge of the British blues movement, These guys don't play or sound like any other band I've seen before, (and believe me; I've seen quite a few). Long may they continue to be so inventive with their writing and arranging." Click here to read the very latest live BluesMove review.
Or click here for the latest BluesMove demo track (April 2003).
BluesMove draw on their vast combined experience to give you
cutting edge blues, grooves with an intensity to make you move, and a night
you won't forget.
Above - BluesMove's Mike Hellier and former BluesMove bassist Roger Inniss.
BluesMove was born in September 1999 from a collaboration
between Howard Smith and what was then the Mick Pini Band. Howard Smith plays
and sings from the heart with a charismatic passion you may remember from his
years fronting the now defunct Razors. By joining forces with Julian Grudgings
(keyboards), Graham Lacey (bass) and Mike Hellier (drums) to form BluesMove -
a totally new and exciting blues experience was created. Gary Rackham has joined recently to play bass for BluesMove gigs.
Howards' vocals , guitar and songwriting continue to scale
new heights and the band as a tight unit continues to develop its own very
special chemistry.
"It is clear to see why BluesMove is getting booked all
over the country. If you get the chance do not miss their show."
