Jeremy Sherman (Left) is a versatile guitarist/composer specialising mainly in 'Roots' music. Over 30 years' experience of playing in many varied bands has contributed to his ability to play and write in a diversity of styles, ranging through country, bluegrass, blues, ska, folk and jazz. Hear his music everyday on the TV.
Nigel Bagge.(Right)..is synonymous with his smoky vocals, sensitive guitar, blues & roots. As the original guitarist in Nicky Moore’s Blues Corporation, he toured The UK and Europe. He later became the guitar-man for Angela Brown (Chicago blues diva) and her band The Mighty 45s. Apart from touring much of Europe, Scandinavia and head-lining major festivals, Nigel's guitar was captured by legendary producer, Mike Vernon on Angela's album: "Thinking Out Loud". This work also included a performance from Carey Bell on Harp and a ghostly sample of the late, great Willie Dixon. Recorded in 1998, it went on to be Blues Album of the Year. Nigel has since worked with such legends as Fleetwood Mac’s Peter Green, Chris Farlowe and Miller Anderson. He fronts his own band as well as working with Midnight Rider, Blues Boots, Duck Soup and of course Riverboat, and has recorded several albums.
