BLUE HEAT is the name of a Warrnambool band. The seven-piece group that played with the likes of B. B. King, Tommy Emmanuel and Marcia Howard was one of the south-west's most celebrated talents in the 1990s. The band broke up at the peak of its powers in 1997 but reformed in 2005 for a charity gig (tsunami appeal benefit concert). at Lake Pertobe. Since then it popped up for a handful of gigs each year and even released a live recording of a performance from 1997 at The Continental. In 2014 the band recorded its first studio album in 20 years at the Big Red Shed in Nirranda,engineered by Brenton Smith. Renowned Blue Heat guitarist Marco Goldsmith had a successful solo career in the intervening years but slotted back in to the band.
