We're both musicians and funnily enough we both used to be in a Thin Lizzy Tribute band called Black Rose

BNL met in 1993. One a guitarist and the other a Keyboard player. BNL began writing and recording their own music before they eventually gathered up some home-made backing tapes and headed out for a 3 year tour of the worst social clubs and pubs in the Northeast of England. BNL decided that rather than keep committing musical suicide every weekend, they should start off a real band. As BNL were heavily influenced by Thin Lizzy, a tribute band seemed the obvious choice. Black Rose was born in 1997 and soon built up a fine reputation on the local band circuit. Lee left the band in 2000 to pursue other ventures but the band continued up until 2003 this time fronted by Ben. At the end of 2003, BNL met up once again and soon began recording again. 2004 saw the release of their official debut album "sunday nights and the ice cream van." |
