welcome to our biog _ the Grand Union Connection is the output of two musicians (Brian + Mike) who fell in love with British blues + Americana esp. Chicago and delta blues.  Over the past 25 years the Grand Union Connection have faithfully dedicated their time to perfecting their version of the traditional song writing and recording methods akin to 50's and 60's record labels.
 

With the addition of Chris Bailey on drums and percussion the Grand Union Connection mainly perform as a three piece, writing and playing all of the parts on their tracks  occasionally drafting in other local musicians to help on the fully amp'ed recordings or shows.  

​

The live sound of the Grand Union Connection blends traditional

songbook music with 60's emotion to create a very British sound

that follows the modern song structures and echoes traditional

tuning and chordal roots.  This combination enables the Connection

to scale up or down the sound to suit the setting whether it's a big

stage or back room.

The union work the day-shift 

to make their bread but come

evening time they quickly 

head off to the nearest

open mic night to 

iron out the ghosts
