No Good Woman & The Kingsnakes are a five piece blues band from Southend-on-sea, playing sassy, soulful blues, old and new, from the Delta to Chicago, Bessie Smith to BB King and Nina Simone to Peter Green. Dawnette (A No Good Woman) - Vocals Dawnette has been singing ever since she can remember and was the lead singer for The Honky Tinkers (also known as The HTs). She has sung jazz, soul, funk and blues with a number of groups and musicians over the years, including a few times with local legend Digby Fairweather. This No Good Woman knows what she’s about - sassy, strong, sexy, spicy & sweet, without apology. So when you come to hear her sing, you better be ready! Pat McNamara – Bass Key founding member of long-established Southend Beat Group The Phrogs, Pat has played bass with a number of bands including Dooyah! with Gary Thompson and Dave Dulake. Pat plays with a stripped back and minimal approach that is sympathetic with the style and allows room for the Kingsnakes to manoeuvre. Gary Thompson – Drums and Vocals Having spent many years in the music business, appearing on Top of the Pops when he was the drummer with the band Tonight, Gary not only plays drums but is also an accomplished guitarist and songwriter. Mark Brown – Guitar Mark has played as a session guitarist for Pauline Taylor and Emiliana Torrini, touring throughout Europe. He has one foot in classical guitar with the other firmly in the blues and yes, the film Crossroads is in his top Five! Wailin’ Wayne – Harmonica and Vocals Wayne has played with a number of local bands, becoming hooked on the blues since hearing the first album by Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. He is also known for organising the Rochford Summer Solstice Real Ale and Music festivals. Sheila Lord is a singer-songwriter from Southend-on-Sea. Her music blends elements of folk and jazz, characterized by heartfelt lyrics and melodic compositions. Sheila's unique sound is marked by her ability to infuse dry humor into her songwriting, offering listeners both depth and relatability.
