About Barrelhouse

Performing an energetic blend of jumping blues old, new and originals with outstanding energy
Blues band
Marlborough
Public liability insurance of £1 million

The band formed to create high energy blues based music. We have had two charting albums and gig around the south of England and the Midlands. Vocalist Martin Hands has developed a reputation for his huge voice. Tim Harvey plays a range of hand build guitars including a four string cigar box and plays through authentic 1950'a amps to create that electric blues sound. Nick Beere plays blue harp and is the bands producer and engineer. Stuart Whant and Dave Growcott are the hard driving rhythm section. We love what we do and bring a real energy to the stage. A band full of experienced players who gig, write and record with have a growing reputation having won band of the year won awards. Our sets include a range of vintage material brought right up to date with our driving style plus our own material that is featured on our Mainline Voodoo and Mooncalf Blues Albums. More than a jumping blues band. The band is available with the addition of female vocals.
