They have been playing gigs around Perth City and the hills ever since and represented the Hills Blues Club at this year’s 25th Anniversary of Bridgetown Blues. With a Blues, Country and Jazz flavor, singer Kyra Bee astounds audiences with her powerful vocal prowess. She joins rhythm guitarist Melanie Dius, who has studied Jazz for 8 years and played in the Perth Hills Jazz Orchestra, even supporting The Black Sorrows in Perth. Gerald Ball’s smooth electrifying guitar licks complement the eclectic genres Kyra Bee and the Illegals are known for. Geoff Eastwood (bass guitar) and Bart Hayes (drums) form the tight rhythm section synonymous with Kyra Bee and the Illegals.

Jeremy Boyd has previously played in a duet at Perth Folk and Roots Club with Clarence Bailey on drums in JemClak to the crowds pleasure. Jeremy has also played in many different musical bands and combos in Perth and beyond over the years. Jeremy has recorded Alive and Kicking with a wonderful acoustic version of May You Never by John Martyn. Jeremys acoustic guitar work in a thrill for audiences and his repertoire is wide and eclectic playing everything from James Taylor and Chris Smithers to Bonnie Rait, Stevie Wonder and The Police.
