Muddy left the band in the spring of 2017. Patsy Gamble is a session saxophonist, vocalist, composer, performer, and British Blues Award finalist in 2011 and 2012.

‘A quite awesome live band….a four-piece featuring the voice and saxophone of the amazingly talented Patsy Gamble, alongside her (former Wishbone Ash) guitarist Muddy Manninen. For the next hour their mix of funk, soul, blues and some jazz was one of the biggest highlights of the day: this band are awash with talent, and with new songs for the next album they will surely become big on the UK scene. Want a lesson in tasty electric guitar playing at it’s best? Just catch Muddy Manninen: years of experience and a joy to listen to, not only solos but the art of rhythm too.’ Blues In Britain Magazine
