Blackbud

However it’s a cold evening in the city and as 'that fine rain that soaks you through' falls outside a small crowd congregate in the dim student pit of the University of London showing interest but still eager to talk amongst themselves.

Blackbud's people know that if the Wiltshire trio fulfil the ones to watch predictions, comparisons will be flying.

We get it all pop-pickers, a Fender group trying to create a Rickenbacker sound tipping their musical hats to everyone from the Byrds to Mungo Jerry and from Procal Harum to The Proclaimers.

A beautiful summers day casting its rays down on Derbys legendary Vic Inn and there are but a few lonely souls floating around the bar area waiting to listen to the guys from Bradford-on-Avon.
