Dynamic vocalist Roxi has appeared in venues throughout the UK, Europe and the USA as solo artist and frontwoman for a variety of bands. With appearances on Radio and TV, her powerful, versatile range and raunchy style has been likened to such artists as Janis Joplin, Etta James and Stevie Nicks.

Local singer-songwriter Rick has been playing his own songs and acoustic blues in North London folk clubs and festivals for a number of years. He has always loved electric blues and teamed up with the band as rhythm guitarist about a year ago.
He uses both acoustic and electric guitars during the set to match the vibe of the song.
Phil Plant: Bass Guitar
Master of the Bass Guitar Phil has spent his life playing professionally with a number of bands including Stomu Yamash'ta, Mike Heron's Reputation, 'Woody' Woodmansey's U-Boat. His playing is on several albums and film soundtracks, including 'The Man Who Fell To Earth'. With a wealth of touring under his belt, he has returned from a long needed break to wow the audiences again with his unique and solid style.
Jim Gardner: Drums
Stompingly good drummer and drum teacher Jim is the ultimate professional who started out playing with his original heavy metal band and played with a Black Sabbath Tribute Band that was one of the most sought after in the country until disbanding a couple of years ago. An original member of RoXi's previous band Blulix, Jim also works with several well respected local bands and is a very welcome member of The Blue Cats!
