The Blue Lena
Fi joined The Blue Lena in 2021, a new rock band, based around the songwriting partnership of vocalist Peter Yeomans and guitarist Nick Singleton.
Peter and Nick both have a wealth of live/touring experience between them from previous bands. Peter having been the lead singer of High Treason since 2012, releasing 2 albums with them , one of which featured collaborations with Ben Mathews of UK rockers Thunder. Nick’s previous known bands include The Firebyrds, and The Tattooed Love Boys, with whom he toured and played on their second album. More recently, Nick formed NWOCR band 3Sixty, with whom he recorded the #truestories album.
During the lockdowns of 2020/21, Peter and Nick began writing and recording new songs in their home studios, the result of which is an album of heartfelt songs, stories drawn from the pairs' own life experiences, rich in blues rock, classic rock and southern rock influences.
The first single from these sessions, Last Chance Saloon, is an excellent introduction to the sound of the Blue Lena... all soulful vocals, bluesy guitars, Hammond organ, southern harmonies and rock’n’roll grooves.
They have been played on Planet Rock and Radio Caroline.
The band, consists of Martin Raggett (High Treason) on bass, Richie Yeates (Desolation Angels) on second guitar and vocal harmonies, drummer Jon Clayton( Brutal Deluxe), Matt Raynor on keyboards, and singer Fi Channon who has recently toured in support of, and as part of John Coghlan’s Quo live band.
The Blue Lena are now in rehearsals in preparation for live shows following the album release in the spring of this year.
