Blue and Beyond is your ideal solution to providing quality acoustic music for pubs and events. We have a few home penned compositions and write whenever the muse strikes. Our covers material runs from the 1890's to the present day. Many of our songs offer fresh interpretations due to the dynamic skill of our guest performers and their years of performing experience. This year we have been very proud to have Geoff Downes of Asia, and Hugh McDowell joining us for performances. As the name suggests the band plays the blues and beyond. Regulars:- Paul's guitar playing spans over 30 years during which time he has played with many a legend. He has featured on John learnt to play the harmonica at the age of 14, as a reaction to being forced to play the clarinet at school, in fact he once had a punishment of 500 lines " I must not play 'Stranger On The Shore' when I should be practising 'fugue in F'". Always keen on singing he took up the guitar at the age of 25. In May 2001 he recorded 2 of his own compositions 'The Ocean Of Life' and 'Blue & Beyond' with his own arrangement of 'The Hesitation Blues' and 'From 4 Until Late'at Nutshell Studios. He currently resides in Monmouthshire .
Whilst we certainly do covers of contemporary music, we like to put our own interpretations of these great songs whatever the genre. Sample mixture... Cocaine Blues |
