Christchurch Festival 2010

This year Riverside appeared at the Christchurch Festival for the first time, rockin' it up in the Marquee on the Saturday afternoon. Thanks to our guest guitarist Pedro from Paint It Blue, and Hannah, also from Paint It Blue, who joined us for The Thrill is Gone.

THE BAND!!!

Old School R'n'B ......with just a hint of ACDC.......

Riverside is a four piece band which has been playing old school R&B at venues and festivals across the south of England for more than six years. The band consists of Stan (Guitar and Vocal), Helen (Bass), Paul (Harmonica) and Syd (Drums).

Carefully chosen material reveals influences from British, Chicago and Texas Rhythm and Blues alongside that of Pub Rock ...with just a hint of ACDC.

A Riverside show is typically 2 hours long and the focus is on up tempo and up beat so get your dancing boots on!

The band is based in the New Forest though it's tentacles spread far and wide! Currently the band plays from Portsmouth to Portland, Swanage to Shaftesbury, and has an open mind on travelling further afield.

With a high quality PA and lighting to suit both small and large venues, the band can be relied upon to put on a professional show for pub gigs, private functions or festivals. Publicity is a high priority and gigs are added to several live music listings such as Livewire and BITS as well as MySpace, Facebook and our mailing list.
