Blood Red Sky

Review: This band, as the name may suggest, is a U2 tribute band. They play tracks from many of the group's hit albums over the past 25 years. The lead singer DAVENPORT, Mark has more than a slight resemblance to Bono, if you close one eye. He is assisted by BAILLIE, Alastair (guitar) and OWENS, Ben (bass guitar), with LYNCH, Stuart (keyboards) and McDONNELL, Gerry (drums and percussion). Sadly this band has broken up. OWENS, Ben formed a new band callled Brassneck, but now plays with The Stylettes.

Blue Beyond

Review: This 4-piece band has madcap Maria Convery and gorgeous Gemma Dorsett sharing the lead vocals with  FLITNEY, Richard (backing vocals and guitar) and Gemma's dad Mark (guitar). They play covers of tracks by artists such as Bryan Adams, Eagles, Cockney Rebel, Crowded house, The Monkees, Van Morrison, Scissor sisters, James Taylor and even Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. Its a little bit wierd to hear female vocalists singing "Brown eyed girl", "Layla", and "Take it Easy", if you know the lyrics, you'll understand why.

Blue Touch

Review: This 5-piece band features Andrea-Maria (lead vocals), SADLER, Neil (guitar), Alan (guitar), Merv (bass guitar?), and LAWRENSON, Hugh (drums and percussion). They play covers of tracks by artists such as Eric Clapton, Cream, Al Green, Marcus Malone, Rolling Stones, and Nina Simone. They also play songs written by Alan. They have a new CD out called "Bump" and their first CD "Grind" is still available. Surely it's bump and grind, not vice versa?
