About Primo Blue
"The faces of the core members of Primo Blue may already be familiar to Station House audiences, but with Primo Blue we have turned things around to provide an opportunity for talented backing vocalists/players to take on a powerful lead vocals role. An evening with Primo Blue can be a mix of funky blues, Hendrix, reggae and 70’s-soul. With a pool of fantastic musicians/vocalists to call on, every gig will have its own special mix of sounds."
The line up usually cosists of, but is not restricted to:
