Blue South formed in 2004 resulting from a chance meeting between twins, Laura and Charlotte Carrivick, and Jacey Harris at a Valerie Smith and Liberty Pike concert in Plymouth in 2003. The band have attended Sore Fingers Summer Schools for the past few years where they have benefitted from tutoring by world class musicians such as Roland White, Matt Flinner, Tim O'brien, Kate Lissauer, Ron Stewart, Doug Cox, Leon Hunt and Bill Evans. As well as this, playing regularly in various sessions around the South West has contributed to their style. Blue South play a varied mix of old bluegrass standards and newer material with some original songs.  As well as the three leading  members, the band are expertly backed up by Jeremy Carrivick on guitar and either Steve Williams or Damien Scarr on bass. Although mainly playing gigs in their local area, Blue South also play at various UK festivals.
