They have progressively carved a reputation for themselves as an excellent live band, with a phenomenal front man in 23-year-old guitarist/vocalist Matt Long, who plays with a real passion for British Blues.

The band crashed onto the blues scene in January 2015, with their debut album ‘So Many Roads’ going straight in at no 1 in the IBBA blues airplay charts.
