We’re excited to announce that after months of no live gigs, The Bail Jumpers will be playing live on Saturday 5th September at The Queens Head Pub, Pinhoe Road, Exeter. The 1 hour gig takes place outside in the car park at 1PM. This is for Richard Maydon’s wake and a celebration of his life. It’s going to be a great day and we hope you can come. Contact the venue or Sue Aldworth for more details.

It is with much sadness that Shovelheads James Harris has decided to call it a day! Our highly talented Saxophone player has family commitments, which take priority and we all wholly support and respect his decision.
We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thanks to James for being part of Shovelhead’s and The Bail Jumpers family, (where he was affectionately known as “Dick Bone”!) for the last two years and it’s been great having him on board and we wish him well.
James will be replaced by Sean Davies (AKA Mr. Seamore Bush!) on second Guitar, who fans will know from The Bail Jumpers and will mean a change in style and sound for both Shovelhead and The Bail Jumpers, who now become a four-piece. Both bands will shortly be in extensive rehearsals and some major set changes means there’s a lot to look forward to in both line-ups. More info as we have it, right here and make sure to follow both bands facebook pages to stay right up to date.
Good Luck to James and welcome Sean.
Naturally the rest of the band are all very sad at this decision. However, we all wish him the very best and of course the show goes on and we are currently on the lookout for a replacement Bass guitarist.
Shovelhead are an Exeter/South Devon based Rock Blues band playing the four SW counties and performing some 60 plus gigs a year.
So, if you’re an experienced Bass guitar player, ideally also with a good singing voice, (a bonus would be someone who can also work a sound desk.) You must have your own transport to get to the gigs as well.
Please note: Shovelhead are a popular and happy band, so the right person will need to fit in and to do that, you’ll also need to be aware that we don’t have time for; Drunks, Egos, Attitude or Prima donnas!
Interested in trying out? Then in the first instance contact Mike Ellis directly via this email; bluessinger69@aol.com
We look forward to hearing from you & we wish Bob all the very best in his retirement.
