LOL GOODMAN BAND

They have, since their formation as a regular gigging band five years ago, carved out a niche as one of England’s best live bands. Based in North Manchester and playing mainly blues/rock inspired original music, the band are out to prove that the blues genre is not only alive and well but evolving with some fine, well crafted material from Lol Goodman.

Their first gigging experiences as a 3 piece was the North of England pub circuit, not ideal for a band featuring mainly original material, but they persevered and gradually built up a following and a core of venues where the audience appreciated their material.

Early in 2013 twelve original tracks were recorded and the result was the CD “Old Dogs ‘n’ Licks” which, for a first foray into the studio, got great reviews in national & international blues magazines etc. It also introduced the band to the listening public via local and web based blues radio shows and a live studio session at Trent Sound Radio.

A year and 12 new songs later it was back to the studio where, with the help of old friends Rod Mayall (John Mayall’s younger brother) on keyboards, David Turnbull, tenor sax and local session musician Phil Barrett, keyboards, another CD was produced and a name chosen - “TAUTOLOGY” Paul Stiles, editor of Blues in Britain, published an article & review in the April issue to coincide with release of the album.

On Sunday 8th June 2014 the band were interviewed by Nick Dow for his long running blues show on BBC Radio Lancashire. In the lead up to the Stafford Blues Festival, Den Siegertsz invited the guys down for in interview & to play two acoustic songs at BBC Radio Stoke on Saturday 29th August 2015.

2015 continued in the same vein with dates booked at Middleton Rock ‘n’ Blues Festival, Upton Blues Festival (Riverside Stage), Colne Great British R&B Festival (headlining the British Stage), headlining Stafford Blues Festival and appearances at Lancaster Music Festival as well as gigs at major blues clubs & music venues.

Since then two further Albums released on Right Track Records; Just Wanna Say ... a ,Little Bit More IN 2017, and SCRUDDY AND THE HEALING SUN in April 2019
