into their songwriting rather than settling for a
tried and tested formula. Ten seconds of
Youtube will not scratch the surface of the
band’s sound and message; this is a band that
is very much about discovery and one best
experienced LIVE!
Zoe Green Band stormed the Blues Rock scene
in 2014 and quickly became known for their
explosive performances and creative covers.
Since then, the band has grown and become an
originals outfit, currently writing their first EP due
to be launched in early January 2017 - just in
time for their performance at The Great British
Blues and Rock Festival. Zoe has a super tight
band behind her punching out their Blues-Funk
songs such as Rise Up, Going To The Grave,
Catch A Fall and Double Truth Woman.
The members are a formidable mix of
musicians: Drums- Ian Haughton (Steel,Pulse,
Ruby Turner,Bitty McLean,B'spoke) Bass-
Derek Lawrence (B'spoke), Guitar- James
Stanley (Dc Fontana, Little Boy Blue, B'spoke)
and with Zoe delivering her own unique blend
of powerful yet sultry vocal, her energetic and
expressive performance is guaranteed to leave
you wanting more....
RGG have a pair of tickets to give
away for this gig at The Robin,
Bilston on 16th February. Just send an email to
the address below with ‘WILLE’ in the
subject title to be in with a chance of winning.

The band are praised in the press for their
albums; bursting at the seams with textures,
originality and soul. Rock legends such as Ian
Paice, Joe Bonamassa and Francis Rossi have
also praised the band’s musicianship and their
unique edge to Rock and Blues.
It’s rare to find a band as dynamic as Wille and
the Bandits, one that is just as comfortable and
as impressive at both ends of the sonic
spectrum. In the modern age of disposable
music it is refreshing to hear a band that still
value the art of creating albums and who
continue to bring new instruments and ideas
