PBGB Family Member Mark Bolsius introduced us to Mandy Siegel in February 2013.
On the day that Mandy first strolled into The Shed, we cobbled together a combo that included Mandy, Mark, Ken Vatcher ( drums ) and Chris Ralfs ( stick bass ), and turned on the recorder.
Before we knew it we had very passable one take / jam session recordings of At Last, and God Bless The Child.
PBGB has always had a soft spot for recordings that emerge from just jamming about, and when we played this back we knew we had a cracker on our hands.
Beautiful work team !!

"Signs Of Life" All original songs on the second album by Neil Porter our guitarist and tech-geek - he has a unique style of writing and singing - high quality production. Just a good listen really. PBGB
