NEWS - The Swaps "Fast Train"
Nominated for five UK Blues Awards in 2025, The Swaps are Beth Brooks (vocals), James Knight (guitar and vocals), and Adam Phillips (guitar and vocals). They have been honing their blend of blues, soul and folk for many years in different line-ups but have recently found the real magic (and national recognition) as an acoustic trio. The Swaps build most of their music around Beth's jaw-dropping vocals and the instinctive guitar interplay between James and Adam.
The dynamics and variety of textures they achieve with only two instruments and three voices is astonishing. All three are songwriters, which perhaps explains the variety and exceptional quality of their material. The Swaps host the monthly Blues Club at Temperance in Leamington Spa, which sells out 9 months in advance. They usually headline the show, with guest sets from some of the best-known names in UK (and sometimes international) roots music.
