Blackjack Casino

What started out as a regular jam session between Ian (guitar) and Terry (Drums), eventually became a full writing band in winter 2010/2011 after the arrival of Ric (vocals) and (now former) bass player Ryan. The direction was clear, back to basics ol' fashioned Blues Rock, very much influenced by bands like Free and The Black Crowes, but giving it their own little stamp.

After playing several gigs around the Bolton/Preston area, the band was given the opportunity of playing Manchester Academy.
