London
Blues
Oniva started
out life as basically a ethnic Funky, Jazzy, Rocky modern day Blues band from
London, singing about life, love hope and despair and almost any subject matter
relating to living in today's London. Then they started gigging and having
fun and gradually realised that although London gives you the blues, it can
also have its happy moments. Especially where live creative music is concerned.
Thus what began as a blue experience commentiing on the life in London and
it's woes became an excuse for a party, and Oniva knows how to party.
The band became so busy gigging that they found from time to time they needed
to recruit deps (substitute musicians) for gigs that the regular members were
unable to do. The band still remained a four piece when playing live but the
membership has increased. Also each new member ads a little something extra
special to the recipe.
