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?
