Mick Cantwell joins The Bandits

We thought it was time to change things up with The Bandits. Mick and BBB used to play together in a Sheffield based band in the ’80-s (anyone remember Hi’N’Dri?), and he’s been a stalwart of the NE blues scene since the ’90s. He’s coming in on vocals and harmonica (maybe some sax if we can’t avoid it…) from Feb 1st.

He’ll take a lot of front vocals (though BBB will still take them, plus the odd one from Whalebone), and the harmonica will add depth too. Mick is an outstanding vocalist and blues harp player. We’ll still be doing high octane r’n’b, so no need to worry! So good to have him on board.
