They released their debut album ‘Let Love Show The Way’ on Provogue Records/Mascot Label Group in January 2016 and have supported the release with extensive worldwide touring which has seen open for label mate and blues legend Walter Trout at O2 Forum Kentish Town, London (You can read our review of that show with a photo gallery by Kieran White at KW Media here: http://bit.ly/1lDizsr ) as well as two sold-out headline shows in the British capital at St Moritz Club and The Barfly, Camden, London, respectively.
