BIOG A committed and enthusiastic amateur mythologist, Space Eagle was more than pleased to emulate the Phoenix by being born out of the ashes of a dead blues band. It looked about itself, preened a feather here and there, and then took flight. Norwich, the Space Eagle soon discovered, was sorely lacking in the necessary crags for nest-building, so it rented a pleasant house a small distance from the city centre and built a foot- operated drum kit. A long, hard winter of busking followed, and the album ‘First Blues’ was made. Blues Matters!, the UK's foremost blues magazine, was

rather partial to this release: “nine gloriously unadorned takes on classic blues”, they said, “...end[ing] with a trio of low-slung garage blues songs that would get the dead dancing”. Tis was in issue #72, which happens to be the Space Eagle's lucky number. Can this really be a coincidence?


RELEASES First Blues - self-released last August. Available online from CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon. A second album of all-original material is half-written, and will be recorded in October. A video for the forthcoming single 'Where Is Jesus?' will be directed by multi-award- winning creative Nick Hearne.
