Righteous Rhythm and Blues

IN 2024, THE MOOD IS POST-COVID AND PAST CARING. What we really need is some rough, tough, righteous rhythm and blues. And thats where PRoM enter stage right, shakin' all over in the wild blue yonder, doin' it right.Do yourself a favour and catch a steamer with the lads down The Tame Delta, kicking the coffee table blues all the way back to the Mississippi.The Reverend's gonna blow his gob iron so hard you'll hear it in the Windy City, and that Telecaster cuts to the quick.

Lets hear it for
A DIFFERENT KIND OF BLUES

PRoM - The laughter, the tears, the triumphs...
and the shoes

FORMED IN 2004, PRoM originally consisted of NICK HALL on Guitar, Vocals and Songs, with IAIN DAVIES on Lead Guitar, PETE HOWARTH on drums and BOBBY COTTERILL on Bass (and remarkable footwear...)After three albums and countless supports with the likes of Wilko Johnson, Eddie and The Hotrods, The Groundhogs and Dr Feelgood, Iain and Pete said their farewells to be replaced by RICH MARTIN (Blues Harp) and ANT COOK (Drums.)In 2015, MICK MULLEN replaces Ant on Drums and JASON KENNEDY joined on Guitar. After playing on “Too Good To Go Down” and “Still In The Sidings…” he hands the Telecaster duties to BAZ PAYNE and RUSHBO joins on Bass and Vocals.The new lineup records the "DIY EP" - RICH MARTIN returns and the band records a new album - "Never Judge a Band By Its Covers," released in March 2018.After a three year hiatus, the band got back together to rehearse and are playing live again...You can't keep a good band down!
