Live, this 11 piece band has all the energy of a 747 taking off, but more finesse! The Julie Lamb Band have all the necessary basics (drums, bass, guitar, vocals), and all of the essential additives... (3 backing vocalists, trombone, saxophones, percussion and keys).

Vocalist Julie Lamb has been about singing various styles for mumble years, but singing her originals is her natural space, and it shows.

Andrew Richardson (drums) and Callum Hazlitt-Black (bass) seem to have been playing together forever, they keep the band tidy... and laughing!

Andreas Lepper adds patterns and effects with his incredible style and extensive collection of noise makers.

Dave Hadley's guitar tone is perfect for our style of music, and his riffs are inspired. His hair is also about the same length as Lamb's... they are the "Status Quo" section of the band.

The horn section - Damian Forlong on trombone and Geraint Scott on saxophones, toss out riffs at exactly the right time, and provide dream solos - what showmen!

Keyboards are played to great effect by John McDonald. He adds flair and colour for the band to bounce off.

And last, but not least, the beautiful, funny, vivacious backing vocalists. Miranda Turner, Deb Rock-Evans and Emma Davey.

These quotes are from our album launch... "You were all so wicked, amazing afternoon guys and girls, AND we are now the new proud owners of both Albums YAY Love you Julie Lamb xx",

"Awesome is the word for it! Awesome band, awesome singers, awesome songs and awesome leader of the pack",

"Hey Julie, Absolutely fantastic afternoon, fabulous entertainment (bought both CDs!), you are amazing! ... sorry we couldn't stick around to tell you to your face, had to take off but managed to stay until the last song. Awesome!! xo"
