Jose McLaughlin (formerly with Gerry and the Pacemakers), has joined the band in time to add his keyboard brilliance to their second album, currently being recorded in a local studio, and containing “a touch of the blues” as well as some new jazz arrangements and a couple of originals by renowned horn man Peter Uppman. Vocalist Nicole Parker-Brown will also lay down some of her bluesy/jazzy favourites in her inimitable style. The other members of the band are Gordon Matheson (guitar – watch out for “Still Got the Blues”), Rodney Ford (drums and vocals) and Col Atkinson (bass and vocals). Jose will be recording ‘Ferry Cross The Mersey’ in a jazz style never recorded before. while Peter Uppman has been responsible for the arrangements and original compositions, adding trumpet, flugelhorn and vocals to the mix. Their upcoming performance for the Club will include numbers from this new album.
