Breaking News! Our first gig of the new year has been announced – Blue Onyx are playing at the Central Studio, Basingstoke on Saturday May 10th. We’ll be sharing the bill with Kindred Spirit, an electrifying folk rock band who just happen to be big Moody Blues fans! It promises to be a terrific evening but, as the venue is small, early booking is advised to avoid disappointment.
This gig will see the first performance of some songs from “On the Threshold of a Dream”, the next Moody Blues album we shall be playing live in its entirety later in the summer (more details of the summer gigs to come!) as well as some familiar classic Moodies’ tunes. So, don’t miss out – Have You heard?? Tickets available from

This month has also seen the arrival of our excellent new flautist, Susie Fison, as we continue in earnest to rehearse our next Moody Blues album “On the Threshold of a Dream”. Susie replaces Julia and Vicky who are pursuing their other musical projects. Susie plays with the Henley Symphony Orchestra when she’s not teaching the flute …and rehearsing with Blue Onyx! Although clearly too young to have met the Moodies’ classic songs first time round, Susie is relishing the chance to immerse herself in the magical sounds of the music.
Also, don’t forget that the Moodies themselves will be touring the UK in September / October this year. Those of us who went last time they toured 2 years ago enjoyed it hugely so…get booking your tickets asap.
