Welcome to the Wensum Blues Band
Meet the Band
About our Players
Dave, Vocals and Harmonica. I have been singing for about 20 years, first in Folk, then Rock and then Blues. I have been in a community rock choir for 12 years and took some singing lessons at a local music academy. As a result of this I started a band doing classic rock, blues and rock'n'roll, we did a few gigs but broke up due to lockdown and illnesses. While in the band I developed my harmonica playing, something I had been toying with for some time. I am also currently MC and sing in the house band at a monthly jam session.
I joined Wensum Blues Band at its inception in 2024 as lead singer and harmonica player.
Dave ( yes another one ), Guitar. Dave has many years of playing in bands, not only that he fixes and builds Guitars and Banjos.
Tony, Bass Guitar, again Tony has decades of Playing in a Band in and around the London area.
Mark, Drums. I have played drums in various genres, on and off for about 30 years, starting in marching bands, and then moving to Rock and Blues. The last 15 years I had been doing mostly concert work with Stowmarket Concert band, but in the last 2 years I have taken up Jazz with a passion, being in 2 Jazz groups. Tony contacted me in 2024 to see if I would be interested in forming a Blues band, and the rest is history.
Between us all we have over 160 years of musical experience
As a band we cover a wide spectrum of the Blues scene, from early Fleetwood Mac to Dr Feelgood, and B.B King to Gary Moore, with plenty other artists chucked in for good measure. Cream, Taj Mahal, John Lee Hooker to name but a few, and our songbook is still growing.
We are not really a covers or tribute band, we take songs we like and put our own twist on them, and try to get feet tapping or even better bodies up dancing, with songs and tunes from across the Blues spectrum.

Fantastic! I’m from Dr Feelgood’s part of the world (The Thames Delta!) and have seen Dr Feelgood, in their various incarnations, many many times over the last 50 years. Also seen various tribute bands too, and your cover is, genuinely, right up there! More please!
