Started in 2000, the AAWB has had a great time playing all around the UK in all sorts of venues for fabulous audiences. In that time we have had stability with everything but the bass player, indeed we got through 5! Rick decided to retire from the band in 2023 and Steve decided to move on from playing bass with us shortly after
Initially in Feb 2023 we recruited Debz as a singer giving us a whole new direction to go in as well as being able to continue some of the good stuff we already did. But with Steve leaving and Martin coming in who plays keyboard as well as bass, we realised the bands character had changed and arguably would be very different to the AAWB
After much debate we have decided to retire the AAWB and have formed a new band called Fire and Velvet. We have new directions and style, and a new image, we'd love you to find out all about us at our new website www.fireandvelvet.co.uk We thank you humbly for all your support and engagement with us over the previous 20 years, its been brilliant!
Music is an amazing thing, does anything else impact you in the same way, be it motivating, emotional or memory invoking, it stirs the soul! And we like to stir the soul too, it's in our genes and we want to deliver something memorable to you!
Well it is and that's why we are larger than average, eclectic tastes means the band plays a huge range of songs, from the 60's right up to the 2020's - if we like it, if it's good, we'll play it, and usually much longer than your average band......
Literally that's what we do, we've played the Grosvenor Hotel, Old Trafford, NEC (albeit the last two in the function rooms not the whole place lol) as well as 2 metre square pubs, weddings, parties, corporate, private, the only thing to date we haven't done is a Bah-mitzvah, but we'd be up for it!
We've recorded and absolutely love it... with George Shilling (https://www.georgeshilling.com), a renowned producer and engineer (Remember Yazz "The Only Way is UP" - Soup Dragons - "I'm Free"all his recording) so you can listen to us again and again and again!
