THE PONTIAX are a new Blues band from Northern Ireland. We're all pretty much based in and around the beautiful County Down area.

We're devoted to keeping the Chicago Blues alive and kickin' in this little corner of the globe. We've only been gigging since june 2008 and in that time we've supported The Lee Hedley Band, Gugun + Blues Shelter, played with the legendary Reverend Doc and played the main stage of The Belfast Big River Blues Festival.

We've jammed with Rab McCullough, Lee Hedley, Mike Wilgar, Michael Beattie and lots of other musicians. 2008 has been great fun and we recorded a live album in december. We know 2009 is gonna be fantastic. If you haven't been able to come and catch us live yet, then keep your eye out for us.

You'll be seeing a lot more of The Pontiax Blues Band in the coming months. Thanks so so much to all those wonderful people who's unwavering support and encouragement have driven us onwards and upwards. Lets keep er lit and see what happens ..
