Blues Engine - The Quick And The Dirty (2015)

Katya Chernyakova (Vocals); Alex Liutai (Bass); Hamish Birchall (Drums); Alex Cooray (Guitar).

Blues Engine formed in London in September 2013, and played their debut gig at Ronnie Scott's bar on 30 January 2014. Our first album, The Quick and the Dirty, was formally released on 4 July 2015. It was chosen as one of the Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Association’s picks of the month for August 2015, and so went to number 1 on the IBBA chart. With new drummer Hamish Birchall, we are now playing regularly at the iconic Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues Bar in London, between other gigs; and we are helping to bring a regular live music event to De Hems Dutch Bar in Soho. We were nominated for a UK Blues Award for Best Emerging Artist.
