3AM - the rockingest blues band in the UK! Introducing 3AM, delivering a superbly tight rock blues experience fronted by powerful and emotive vocals. With a mix of blues rock classics and critically acclaimed originals, 3AM aim to entertain.

We've played in many iconic venues - The Ealing Blues Festival, Chichester Blues Fest and Guilfest, the 100 Club, the 02 Islington and The Clapham Grand to name a few!

The band has its roots in the rock scene of the 70’s with founder member and lead guitarist Tim Renton then joined by the highly experienced Chris Parren on keys when the band formed in 2004.

We've had the usual multitude of line-up changes - some disruptive, others positive, but it's been a privilege to work with so many dedicated musicians - from Tim's brother Andy on drums for nearly ten years followed briefly by Ed Spevock, then Fussi Sanderhof Andersen who swapped seamlessly and often between drums and bass for us and other bands - and still deps happily when we need him and his good humour and dedication - the gorgeous "Big Phil" - Phil Evans on bass for all that time as well, until replaced for a year by Colin Pattenden and now - 2025 - replaced by Martin House of local fame. Jamie Fisher was an immaculate fixture on drums for many years - finally bowing to commercial pressure but leaving us with the creative talents of Errol Lynton's former drummer - Phil Myers - otherwise known as "Frap". Sadly, Frap left for pastures new in 2025 being replaced on the drums by highly experienced Stephane Booroff (ex-Edison Lighthouse, Chicory Tip and Butterscotch).

And the multitude of talented vocalists 3AM has been blessed with have grown, with Helen Turner followed by Tola Lamont - both of whose powerful voices can still be heard bringing delight to audiences all over the UK. Then in 2010 the marvellous Laura Long discovered and developed 3AM with her own melodic voice - morphing easily from crooned ballads to full-on rock anthems and co-writing more songs with the band. When she left 12 years later we had the multi-talented and energetic young Claire Bender fronting the band for around 18 months.

As from mid-October 2025 we are very excited to be rehearsing with the very beautiful and talented Esra Parr on vocals! She's totally enthusiastic about singing 3AM's own songs in between covers from Linda Ronstadt, Elles Bailey - and even toying with the idea of trying out some Skunk Anansie! The future is once again looking bright for 3AM!
