Guitarist Dave Robinson of the idle hands The Idle Hands - Rockin' Blues at its finest...Bassist Jamie Burns the idle hands

'The Idle Hands' are a British Rock-Blues 4-piece band, based in Chesterfield, UK.

In the astounding 20 years since the band was formed (1989), ‘The Hands’ have developed a well respected and hard earned position on the UK blues-rock circuit for their dynamic, edgy live performances & quality albums which combine original & re-worked material.

Powerful, gritty, soulful vocals are interlaced with proficient, intensely exhilarating guitar work, solidly backed by a vacuum tight bass & drum rhythm section for audience captivating performances.

 

 ‘The Idle Hands’ dynamic live performances show off their musical influences and the passion for their art truly shines through.

High calibre renditions of their own quality songs blended with carefully selected covers which draw off some classic Delta Blues, Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and Rory Gallagher amongst others.

All who see ‘TIH’ perform confirm that they are one of the finest yet under exposed rock-blues bands on the UK scene today. In parallel to their live shows, 'The Idle Hands' self-funded CD’s have also received exceptional reviews.
