Their ability to combine old blues with modern rock has taking them on several tours across Europe, and even North America, and has caught the attention of artists like blues legend Joe Bonamassa calling ’VOL.II’ on of the best albums of 2018 and even inviting the band to perform on his annual cruise festival.

Departed, The Fallen State, with Liberty Lies – live O2 Academy 2, Islington, London, March 8 2017
A true highlight and a track I hope remains in the band’s set for years to come is ‘Steal Your Crown’. It’s the sort of song that should grab the attention of radio stations and see it added to playlists worldwide.
Hellbound Hearts – Film Noir review
The album is the end result of a difficult road for the band that saw them ditch the originally intended release, go back to the drawing board and deliver what we now have with ‘Film Noir’.

Scott Weiland and the Wildabouts, live at The Garage, London, September 3rd 2015
A rescheduled show due to guitar player Jeremy Brown’s passing, meant that fans who had been expecting to see the band live back in April were chomping at the bit by the time Scott Weiland & Co. returned to the UK.

Black Whiskey – Heavy Train review
Black Whiskey will openly admit that their sound and roots are firmly entrenched in those classic sounds of the seventies and early eighties capturing influences from Free, Gary Moore, Led Zeppelin and even Glenn Hughes. Dig a little deeper however and we hear a modern take on the sound that also nods its head to the likes of Audioslave and Rival Sons.
Fish and Calum Busby live at The Fleece, Bristol on December 7th, 2014
I’m sure Fish must have had moments when he wished he’d called this tour something other than “The Moveable Feast Tour”, as that seems to have been an invitation for the God of Gigs to mess with him.

The re-scheduled dates were going well in mainland Europe until Fish developed laryngitis and had to postpone 17 dates until early next year
