Event information

Most probably best known as the sister of John Bonham and now Deborah is one our best Blues/Rock/Soul singers.
“A powerful rock band steeped in the primal intimacy of the Blues” CLASSIC ROCK

Deborah Bonham, over the course of an impressive career, has established herself as one of the finest Blues, Rock and Soul singers that the UK has produced. A string of critically acclaimed original albums, collaborations and captivating standing ovation concert performances, from the Royal Albert Hall and London Palladium to the Amphitheatres of the USA 'Stars Align Tour' with Paul Rodgers, Jeff Beck and Ann Wilson of Heart, have consistently garnered glowing reviews.

“She's quite possibly the most vocally impressive, entertaining and awe-inspiring performer I've seen. The band's visual presence is phenomenal, all of who are visibly taking enjoyment from their time on stage” METAL TALK

Her most recent album ‘Bonham-Bullick, released on USA label Quarto Valley Records, is an inspiring blend of Blues, Rock and Soul interpretations of some classic and contemporary compositions spanning 7 decades. The album peaked at #9 on the Amazon Chart, with the lead single See You Again reaching #1 and album of the week in the European Hit Tracks Top 100 Blues and Rock chart. Hailed by ‘Blues Matters!’ Magazine as contender for ‘Album of the Year’, the album received multiple 5* reviews.

"Soulful and moving performances. The album sounds great" ROLLING STONE

November 2023 saw the release of ‘Heavenly Cream’ an acoustic tribute to Cream also on Quarto Valley Records, with Deborah taking the lead on 2 tracks together with Ginger Baker, Bernie Marsden, Joe Bonamassa, Maggie Bell, Bobby Rush, Pete Brown, Pete Bullick and Paul Rodgers.

“I have no hesitation in nominating Maggie Bell and Deborah Bonham
as the Stars of the Show” VELVET THUNDER (Heavenly Cream)

The Band features Belfast born Guitarist Peter Bullick, lauded by the Music Press for his passionate playing, exuding his influences from the world's finest Guitarists in every note of his performance. Free and Bad Company vocalist Paul Rodgers chose Bullick to fill the shoes of the late Paul Kossoff in his Free Spirit Band. Rodgers and Bullick, along with the other members of Bonham’s band - Gerard Louis (Keys), Richard Newman (Drums) and Ian Rowley (Bass), extensively toured the UK and USA, culminating in the Billboard Chart #2 album and DVD, 'Paul Rodgers’ Free Spirit Live at The Royal Albert Hall London'.

"I warned you they'd blow you away" PAUL RODGERS

"Wow is all I got to say after that, and boy can Deborah Bonham sing”
Johnnie Walker's Rock Show BBC Radio 2

“The powerful vocals of Deborah Bonham gracefully shook the walls of Abbey Road studios when she laid down the tracks. Peter Bullick also added to the mix, displaying his guitar finesse with great ease” Pete Brown (Cream Songwriter)

"The best female vocalist and tightest band we should have been hearing for the last 20 years. An arena worthy show in a New York club!" Carol Miller ‘Get the Led Out’ Q104.3FM

“Powerfully produced and immaculately played album, Bonham and Bullick do a fine job of making the songs their own” Classic Rock Magazine

“Bonham is in fine voice throughout while Bullick’s Kossoff-inspired playing shows why Paul Rodgers values him so highly” Blues In Britain

“Bonham-Bullick is one heck of a ride from end to end and belongs on every short list of the year’s most vital new releases. Don’t let it pass you by” Rock & Blues Muse USA

“Killer guitar tone from Bullick & soulful power from Deborah Bonham. Blues aficionados will love the new Bonham-Bullick record” UAWIL/Pantheon USA

“In the tradition of the great Blues-Rock of the 1970s while also being deeply entrenched in Classic Blues and Soul” JJ French Connection USA

"There are only a select few guitar players who can achieve the Paul Kossoff tone
and it’s apparent from the first note of the new Bonham-Bullick album,
Peter Bullick summons Kossoff’s spellbinding style" Irish News

"If David Bowie played the Blues, it might've sounded something like this... ACE!”
Cerys Matthews' Blues Show BBC Radio 2 ('It Ain't Easy' by Bonham-Bullick)
