Restructuring

First of all, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish all our fans and readers a belated Happy New Year. The Savoy Blues Band have a whole lot of exciting new developments in the recent weeks, and we hope you all come out to see our new lineup in the coming months.

Due to the departure of BG, we have been hard at work, rebuilding this band from scratch. MA has kindly taken over the duties in the Guitar Department, and we have tentatively retained a bass player -- who shall remained unnamed at this time. Our trumpet player CL, has decided to spread his wings a little, and is trying his hands at keyboards -- in select numbers. The rest of us, well, are remaining in the same place.

Our musical material is getting an overhaul. Some of the material has met the axe, and had been dropped indefinitely. This is making way for new material, which will take the band in new directions, sonically. I am confident this material is going blow everyone away.

New members add new ideas, so much of the existing material is being rearranged, with different instrumentation, thus, new life is being breathed into old material. It is very exciting for us, and we can't wait to play to for you.

We expect to fully be ready in 1 months' time. Keep watching closely for future gig announcements.
