1st Emsworth Blues Festival – The Bonham-Bullick Band – SOLD-OUT AND RESCHEDULED!

Presented in association with Harbour Records

A very welcome return for the Bonham-Bullick Band, who will be playing in the innate surroundings of Emsworth’s St James’ Church Hall on the rescheduled, due to illness, date of Saturday 4 March.

Deborah Bonham is regarded as one of the finest blues, rock and soul singers the UK has produced.  A number of critically acclaimed original albums and outstanding concert performances from London’s legendary 100 Club to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.  USA Arenas with Paul Rodgers and Jeff Beck to the island of Malta with John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers and Robert Plant, have all garnered glowing reviews in the Blues, Rock and Folk press.

“Strong voiced, personable and quite the rock & roll singer. This woman, Deborah Bonham (the sister of the late Led Zeppelin drummer) earned a standing ovation at the end of her set, clearly a welcome addition to the tour.”  (Stars Align Tour, Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck, Ann Wilson, Deborah Bonham, Holmdel, New Jersey)   Elmore Magazine USA 

“Wow is all I got to say after that, and boy can Deborah Bonham sing”

Johnnie Walker BBC Radio 2

Pete Bullick, brought up on Rory Gallagher concerts at Belfast’s Ulster Hall and long time Bonham- Bullick Band guitarist, is lauded by the press for his passionate and soulful playing. Peter made such an impression on the Free and Bad Company front man Paul Rodgers, that Paul selected Pete and the rest of the Bonham-Bullick Band to back him on both his 2017 Free Spirit tour of the UK and the 2018 USA Stars Align Tour, culminating in the Billboard Chart #2 Live Album and BluRay ‘Paul Rodgers Free Spirit’ (Quarto Valley Records).

“Guitarist Pete Bullick constantly showed why Paul Rodgers touted him as a replacement for Kossoff should Free ever reform. His bluesy but always economic fills and solos lit up the stage.”  Tight But Loose (Led Zep) Magazine

“Deborah Bonham, the best female vocalist and tightest band we should have been hearing for the last 20 years – An arena-worthy show in a (New York) club!”  Carol Miller Q104.3 – Get the Led Out
