The closest you - or we - can get to a live gig!

During Lockdown, we've been trawling through our electronic archives, and found some surprising stuff! Mainly videos from live gigs - videos we deemed too raw/unprofessional/out-of-date to put here as relevant indicators of how 3am looks and sounds. If you have the time to look, check out our Youtube channel - go to Youtube and simply search for 3amBluesRock - and up we pop! Videos from way back in 2005 when 3am first formed - with the raw, Janis Joplin-like tones of Helen Turner on vocals, her partner (now husband) Iain Black on second guitar, Tim's brother Andy on drums, and Trevor Turley whirling around on bass.
Later there are clips of Tola Lamont and her huge heavy-metal-loving voice, of Fussi Sanderhoff Andersen on either bass or drums - bless him - he still deps for us on either when need arises - replaced by the gorgeous Jamie Fisher on drums for before he also got head-hunted away. Film of Laura Long's debut on vocals and the arrival of the statuesque Phil Evans on bass, and through them all, Tim Renton on lead guitar and Chris Parren on keys. There's no visual record of our terrific new and inspired drummer Phil Myers as Covid 19 shut down all the venues before he'd done more than a handful of gigs with us - looking forward to introducing him to you. Onward and upward!
