About / Biography

We are a Blues Rock band based in the Waterford/Dungarvan area. We are all very experienced musicians in our fifties and sixties, delivering legendary and contemporary Blues covers as well as original material.

Vocals and guitar: Hawk. Our powerful and charismatic lead vocalist delivers the blues with an irish twist. He performed in the U.S. in the 90s, and returned in 2000. he has written original Blues material for the band.

Lead Guitar: Malcolm Scott. Malcolm has toured extensively in Europe and the U.S. and has recorded with Pete Brown ( Cream), Elliott Randall (Steely Dan), and Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones).

​His musical pedigree is evident in his dynamic range, which combines subtle riffs with explosive, soaring solos. All played with the casual virtuosity of a seasoned blues guitarist.

Bass: Liam Shanley. Liam comes from a Waterford family whose musical pedigree is scond to none. his musical influences are the music of the 70's i.e. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Status Quo, Rory Gallagher, and Lizzy.

Drums: Kevin Power. Kevin is the uncompromising backbone of the band, laying down a solid backbeat - with the occasional explosive fill! He's played in rock bands in Dublin and Cork since he sold his soul to rock and roll as a teenager, and played in several bands in Dublin in the 80's.

Saxophone: Kieran Eaton: Kieran is our occasional guest saxophonist. Anaccompliushed musician, he provides growling saxophone and soaring flute to our Blues!
