B'n't
were formed in the early 80 's by Tim Eliott & John Bruce.Constant personnel
changes were to eventually lead to a permanent line-up, which encouraged the
band to turn professionel & saw the release of their debut album in 1985.
During the next ten years B'n'T toured & guested with many blues greats including BB King, Robert Cray, PinetopPerkins, Charlie Musselwhite, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells. They recorded with '' sixth Stone'' Ian Stewart, enjoying indie chart succes, and also with Lazy Lester, for which a W.C.Handy award was won!
Their third album, ''Hat Trick'', recorded by vintage blues producer Mike Vernon relaunched his ''Blue Horizon'' label. Chart succes with ''No Minor Keys'' & ''Hat Trick'', along with a British Blues Connection award for ''Down to the Shuffle'', helped keep the band in high demand for many years, often playing around 250 shows a year all over the U.K., Scandinavia & Europe. They appeared at festivals throughout the world including the prestigious ''Memphis Blues Festival''. B'n'T have released 9 albums, not including re-issues &compilations.
The year 2000 saw the release of a brand new studio album ''Blues Graffiti'' featuring all new tracks from the line up of Timmy Boy Elliot on vocals & harp, Mike Park on guitars, Scotty Scott on bass & Lucky Lox Lovell on drums. This double CD includes selected tracks from their 1987 ''Hat Trick'' album & the same year's live album recorded in Germany, all remastered & some previously unreleased tracks from the band's sold out ''festival'' shows in Edinburgh, again in 1987.
This year will see the release of the band's 10th album, "Devil's
Tricks'', a new approach but the same old B'n'T.
