What's The Music About? Storm Warning are one of the most musically dynamic and interesting bands on the UK blues/rock scene.
“One of Britain’s most talented and well respected Blues bands….. a distinctive blend of contemporary blues, rock that creates their trademark slick and classy sound.” Blues Matters magazine.
“Soulful gut-bucket groove that’s half hard times, half good-time-all-the-time…..they delve deep into breezy jazz, fiery rock or smoky R&B, but the blues always call them back.”
Classic Rock magazine.
“Clever, complex and compelling…this is a progressive album that sounds relatively distinct from any predecessors. An impressive assured set.”
Blues in Britain magazine
Who's In The Band?
Vocalist Steve Norchi has recently joined the band. He has previously worked with Mark Knopfler and Pick Withers and Brewers Droop. The blues/rock lead guitar of Bob Moore, shares the solos with the classic organ and piano
sounds of Ian Salisbury which adds an additional blues-based dimension. Ian is also one hell of a blues harp player.
Drummer Roger Willis, formerly with Capability Brown and Krazy Kat, and bassist Derek
White complete the line-up, forming what The Blues Band bass man Gary
Fletcher described as “an ace rhythm section.”
New Album - Something Real
‘Something Real’, the 2nd and latest album, has eight superbly crafted original songs and one Lucky Peterson cover. It was recorded at M.A.R.S Studios by Martin Atkinson who has worked on the latest albums by Buddy Guy, Lucky Peterson and Deborah Coleman, for the JSP label. The CD is available throughout the UK, at all good record shops and available online at music websites including Amazon, HMV, Tesco, Blues CD Store etc. plus now available on itunes and other download sites.

Breaking Out Debut Album
Storm Warning released their debut album, Breaking Out, reaching
no.48 in the Amazon Blues Charts. Produced by the band and Martin
Atkinson at his M.A.R.S. studio, the album features seven original
tracks and two covers of modern blues standards. It received excellent
reviews including Blues In Britain (10 out of 10 rating), Blues Matters!
Magazines and Blues Revue USA. The band earned the critical seal of
approval from Paul Jones, when he played the track ‘Bullets’ on his BBC
Radio 2 show. The response to the track from listeners persuaded the BBC
to ask the band to record a live session for the show and the result was
broadcast on June 22nd 2006 and once again accolades and CD sales came
flooding in.
What The Media Says......
Storm Warning’s live performances are powerful and dynamic, leading
one blues journalist to write at the end of their review for Blues in
Britain magazine;
“This is a tight, classy outfit that should be on every promoter’s
wish list.”
“Storm Warning presented a beautifully crafted set, weaving an intoxicating mix of the traditional with jazzier and rockier elements to keep momentum through to the inevitable encore. They've certainly hit the nail on the head in designing this set of, principally, original material and this fresh approach, expertly executed by a great team of musicians, was more than appreciated by the members, indeed the feedback received, both at the event and follow up e-mail, has been quite phenomenal!" –
