Comprised of seasoned musicians Paul Jones (vocals and harmonica), Tom McGuinness (guitar), Dave Kelly (slide guitar), Gary Fletcher (bass guitar), and Rob Townsend (drums), the band brought together a rich blend of talent and experience. Each member had a solid background in the British music scene, with Jones and McGuinness previously part of the pioneering pop band Manfred Mann, which helped to solidify their credibility and the high expectations for their blues project.

Over the years, The Blues Band has been unrelenting in their output, showcasing their deep respect for traditional blues while also infusing their music with a contemporary vibe. Albums like "The Rooster Crowed" and "The Big Blues Band Live Album" exemplify their dedication to the genre and their ability to captivate live audiences. Their discography, which spans over four decades, includes a healthy mix of studio, live, and remastered works, reflecting the band's evolution while staying true to their roots. The release of "So Long" and live performances captured on albums such as "Let the Good Times Roll (Live)" and "Running: Live at Bynum Front Porch" demonstrate their enduring appeal and the timeless nature of the blues genre. Through their prolific recording history and vibrant live performances, The Blues Band has cemented their status as blues legends, continuously attracting new fans while satisfying the cravings of blues purists across the globe.
