The Blue Bishops are a UK based band with a musical style firmly rooted in the hard edged British blues/rock idiom. The band had been in existence for a number of years and, following the departure of their original bassist in 1998, the Bishops enlisted the services of Wishbone Ash's Martin Turner.

The nucleus of the Blue Bishops has always been guitarist/slide player Simon Burrett and lead vocalist/harmonica/guitar player Geoff Grange.

The Bishops spend most of their playing time in Europe, where the harder, rocky edge of their blues style has a wide cross over appeal. They appear regularly in Holland and Belgium. Their Belgian festival appearances include the Swing Festival in Wespelaar , the Blues Parade in Peer, and more recently a very successful appearance in one of the prime open air slots at the world renowned Gent Festival, which had over 2 million people attend over its ten day period this year.
