The Rocky Road Trio (2004 - 2006)

Paul Burton - Vocals/Guitar
Martin "Slick" Taylor - Double Bass
Steve Taylor - Drums

In November 2004 Martin Taylor and I decided to get together and rehearse some new songs. Reviving the old Rocky Road Trio name, our first gig was at a works function for a construction firm on 17th December in Abram, near Wigan with Rhythmaires drummer Steve Taylor completing the line-up.

After several years hiding at the back of the stage I got to sing full-time with a band.... more through necessity than desire! We had a great time playing the club/cabaret circuit around the north west of England and it was disappointing when we had to stop when Andy moved to London with work. The double bass gave us the opportunity to play a more authentic rockabilly style though it probably wasn't appreciated by the "blue-rinse brigade" that we often found ourselves playing to!

Andy now plays in a band called Blues Barn

Steve Hulmes replaced Martin Taylor on bass in late 1994.
