Someone once said that the ‘blues ain’t nothing but a good woman gone bad’. It is this ideology of emotive metaphor and self-expression that gave birth to the Gloucester Blues Project in a cramped and dingy band room in mid-2005. Since then, the band has far exceeded their humble expectations as a temporary side project and gone on to achieve worthy recognition and acclaim in and around their home town of Pietermaritzburg.
