playing a number of clubs in the London area, where for 10 years, they were
the mainstay of the British Blues scene. They also toured Germany and the
Czech Republic, where they played the Golem Blues Festival with headliner
BB King. The original line-up recorded the album "High and Low",
on V-Neck Records.
Paul Vallis, lead vocals and harmonica, skillfully threads together the styles
of his own mentors, Junior Wells and Sugar Blue with a modern Blues vibe
of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Buddy Guy. Paul has appeared with Beverly
Skeets, Mica Paris and the legendary Slim Gaylard. Vallis brings a new
and unique interpretation of Blues harmonica to the fore and by adding soulful
vocals, takes bleedingHARP to another level altogether.
Vallis has since relocated to the States and pulled together a new line-up
featuring guitarist Jeff Marshall, world class drummer Bobby Jarzombek
and former Lucinda Williams bass player James Kirk. They are currently
gigging in and around the Southland. According to "Southland Blues"
Magazine, "Vallis burns up the stage". Their new CD, "Gotta Have"debuts
this April. Stay tuned.
