Since their first appearance in September 2001, Southern Blues have become one of the most popular bands on the South Coast, packing venues whenever they play.

 

Performing a mixture of blues and rock 'n roll from Bo Diddley to ZZ Top, their unique blend of delta blues and pure rock simply has to be heard. From the beautifully smooth tones of a Fender Rhodes to the screaming power of a Gibson Les Paul through Marshall valves, their power and energy is hard to beat.

 

They have so far supported The Brotherhood of Man and Bad Manners at Bognor Live, played 'Live on the Lawn' at the Royal Norfolk Hotel, Bognor Regis, appeared in the Bognor Carnival and rounded off the day for the Bognor Birdman.
