Hargreaves is a four piece band that plays Blues, plus a little Jazz and a bit of Country. Hargreaves is about simple music played well. We're not aiming to top the charts or make a fortune, but we'd like to get out and play regularly, enjoy the music we make, and play to people that like what they hear from us.

We've added a rough demo to give you an idea of the sound we think we're looking for - kind of Nancy Griffiths meets The Only Ones, sort of ... At the moment there are no real drums on the demo, but it gives you an idea - and not a trace of digital editing. We will be working on something a bit better at Straytown Studios during April.

We are currently interested to hear from bass, guitar and keyboard players with a strong blues and country feel, but only if you can ADD TO rather than CHANGE the sound we're developing.
