New Members


Our 2010 show kicked off with a new band line up at Gosports' White Hart.













Welcome to the band.

On Keys Dave Oakley. Dave is a familiar face on the soul scene having played in the ‘The Hideaways’ ‘The Beatmakers’ and more recently ‘Bang Bang Lulu’. With his enthusiasm and love of, Northern Soul, Hammond Organ & Modernism. Dave and BbS were destined to get together at some point.




A sudden personnel change in February meant Alan and Dave had to learn the two and a half hour show in a matter of weeks!





Welcome to the band.

Bass Guitarist Alan Woods comes in to help hold down the BbS groove. Alan’s previous work included ‘The Jeff Hooper Band’ and ‘Different Trains’ Alan is a recent convert to the Sounds Of Motown & Stax, and is a born again ‘Soulie’
