"Inspiring tunes, great work" - Sonic's Rendezvous Band....

Punk Rock Supergroup, The Blood Doctors - less 'session musicians', more 'musicians who've been on a session', was officially created one drunken night in a pub off Oxford Street, the first proper rehearsal was in March 06.....

The MK1 line up was: from prog manglers Litmus, Fiddler S on guitars and obscenities. Ex-Shanks legend Dave Dirtbox on bass and shouting. Bringing the twosome to a threesome - Ross of Acme Pop band on drumstool and Red Stripe.

Friday 29th August 08, Fiddler left on an amicable basis to forge on with the mighty monster that is Litmus.

As of June 2009, it's been a long time coming, but joinging us for the MK2 line up is - Duncan - a jazzer by trade - on guitar. It's mellow, it's cool and it sure ain't punk rock!!Dave Dirtbox
