As a brief history, The band started out as the ‘house band’ playing at Bob’s Goodtime Blues at the Station Tavern, London W10 in the mid 90’s. A regularly Sunday lunchtime spot turned into a long-term residency at the venue and the ‘house band’ simply became ‘Station House’. The band was billed as a ‘Blues-Soul fusion featuring the classy vocals of Root Jackson and 1999’s Blues Drummer of the Year, Sam Kelly’.

Station House has played at the Burnley Blues Festival, South Hill Park Blues Festival, Theatre Royal, Stratford and several venues on the London pub ‘blues scene’ Predominately the band have played at private venues, in demand because of their mix of danceable music and vibrant personalities.

All the band members come from a non-blues background so the unique blues sound that they have created is a fusion of their influences such as British funk, soul, jazz, calypso and reggae. The result is a mix of music which is far different to the norm, but still with its roots based firmly in the blues.

In February 2007 Station House also formed as part of ‘The Soul Britannia All-Stars’ Band backing Madeline Bell, Linda Lewis, Carol Grimes, Mick Eve (Gonzales), Hamish Stuart and Cymande.

The 2009 line-up comprises of Sam Kelly (Drums/Backing Vocals), Spy (Bass/Vocals), Paul Jobson (Keyboards/Vocals) and new members Tony Qunta (Guitar/Vocals) and Jerome Marcus (Percussion/Backing Vocals).

I’m proud to announce the launch of my new music website designed to keep you updated with the latest news, photos, music and videos. Over the past few months I’ve been involved in several projects with Sam Kelly including Station House, Cymande and Soul Britannia where we performed at the Ealing Blues & Roots Festival and the Grey Horse in Kingston – this involved putting on my percussion hat to flavour the rhythmic section.

I have also picked up sticks and dusted off chops to perform and collaborated with several wonderful local musicians at Jam Nights at Drayton Arms (Ealing), Tune-Inn (Acton), The Unicorn (Camden), Middlesex Arms (Ruislip), Cardinal Wolsey (Hampton), Alexandra Arms (Finchley) and the Undersolo Bar (Camden).

Some great moments with the underground of hidden local talent and these have been documented on blogs such as Global Jam.

Please bear with me as I continue collect all relevant information and components for developing this site.
