At the start of June we welcomed Poder De Tres back into the Phoenix FM studio, following their previous appearance on Stepping Out, as well as a live set at Phoenix Fridays, earlier in the year. The trio specialise in acoustic covers, mainly of soul and pop tracks from the last few decades, with an unusual specialism in 90s R&B and garage tracks. Among their upcoming gigs, they can be seen on the last Friday of every month at Reids Restaurant in Billericay – see the full gig listing & have a listen at www.poderdetres.com.

Later in the show I chatted to upcoming rock foursome Reservoir Blues, just ahead of what would be a busy month of gigs for them (including our own Fitness In Mind Alldayer), as well as putting together their debut EP ‘Gutter’.
