The Bellhops are an extremely experienced R&B band from Sydney. The various
band members have all done their time playing in other bands, before coming
together in 1990. The musical sound of the Bellhops falls loosely into the
blues 'n' swing style, with some jazz influences, highlighted by the two
talented primary vocalists, Steve Trew and Ian Dittman.
On stage and fired up, the band rolls out a solid rhythm overlaid with the
guitar craftsmanship of John Russell. Dittman's supporting guitar, Trew's harp
and the dueling saxophones create musical layers, with the whole sound truly
becoming greater than the sum of the parts. Now with a settled sound and a
debut recording under their belts, the Bellhops look set for bigger things.
