NEW YEAR NEWS for 2025

Followers of the band will have seen the band name and line up change over the past 7 years, From John Angus Blues Band to John Angus Band, down to fans saying you are more rock than blues, so we dropped the blues title and repositioned ourselves as simply  John Angus Band.  JAB for short sums up where we are at in our musical journey. When we launched our latest album "It's High Time" in 2024 we felt that we needed an injection of new high energy songs with a blues influence and that has done really well with chart success for three months in the IBBA Blues Charts, in at 8 

"The Meat" returns, Yes we are delighted to welcome back our original drummer Pete "The Meat "Hopkins, solid as a rock and fired up to play our upcoming gigs in 2025.  Legend has it that he was a butcher down South in the Smoke but we have heard other stories not to be repeated hear. 

This year we have been invited back to play Callander Jazz and Blues Festival in October and happy to say we have added a great gig in Edinburgh at Stramash a prestige gig to be sure.
