MOJO Album of the Month (Dragons Milk) - Classic Rock Society 'Best of 2004' Award

Fusing the passionate intensity of Celtic themes, a heavy rock and roll mindset and stunning improvisations, Bluehorses' music is a genuinely unique hybrid.

Formed in the mid 1990's, Bluehorses are fronted by founder and lead singer Irish/Welsh Gothess Lizzy Prendergast’s electric violin, electric Celtic harp, space-mandolin and synthesizer and led by her co-founder and co-songwriter Nic Waulker.

Nics' ferociously precise drums are joined by the thundering bass of Nathan Waulker and guitar histrionics from Jay MacDonald, producing a serious noise in a contemporary but classic rock mould.

Bluehorses have shared stages with bands as diverse as Hawkwind, Levellers and Oysterband and have wowed festival crowds in every country of W. Europe and Scandinavia, including

Madrid, Skagen, Irun, Glastonbury, Dranouter, Luxembourg, Trowbridge, St Ives, Gosport, Fareham, Lokeren, Bilbao, Otley, Deerlijk, Ghent, Middlewich, Crawley, Guildford, Dadizele, Basle, Brampton, Oostende, Off the Tracks, Peterborough, Oostkamp Castle, Folk at Fram, Gerrardsbergen, Lyon, Cheltenham' Fylde, Burnham, Blackdown Hills, Sesiwn Fawr, Pigstock, Romerike , Mayfest, Titchfield Abbey, Saul Folk on the Water, Solfest, Newt Beer and Music fest

Bluehorses have received many accolades including a MOJO 'Album of the Month' and a 'Best Of 2005' award from The Classic Rock Society.

Bluehorses' 5 critically acclaimed CDs and stunning live shows are full of Celtic passion, instrumental virtuosity and good old fashioned rock and roll fun!
