Dennis says. "This album has taken longer than we wanted. After we recorded ‘Eye Of The Storm’ we had great reviews and Gordon and I were keen to write a follow-up. We started writing and had a few songs down as demos, but the Covid lockdown happened so we couldn't get together, and during that time Gordon’s gear went down and we lost everything that we’d done! It was a long time coming, but in March 2024 we were able to get the guys together in the studio. The result is 12 tracks of raw rocking blues with maximum feel and spontaneity!"

You can buy CDs here, and downloads on our Bandcamp.

Here's a review from Eric Campfens of Barn Owl Blues in Holland...

…. 'The Word On The Street" contains twelve songs written by Siggery and Vaughan themselves. In addition to the band members already mentioned, Dave Raphael can also be heard on harmonica.It has become an album, as we know it from the Eric Street Band, a band that is up to its ankles in the blues clay of the South of England and is not afraid to allow influences from soul, rock and country into its music. Siggery's unique hoarse voice is of course characteristic of the band's music. Songs that deserve a special mention in my opinion are "The Blues Will Win", the sensitive "You're Living A Lie" and "I'm The Man (About Town)", dedicated to Willie Dixon. A well-made album with twelve excellent songs, pure, honest and sensitive. It took a long time, but the wait for "The Word On The Street" was absolutely worth it. A great record, recommended.”

Here's another - from Andrew Merrit, ace gig photographer of the music scene in and around Reading, and allround music lover...

"There's been a few new good albums released recently, and this is one of them! I was very pleased to be sent a CD by Dennis Siggery of his latest Eric Street Band album, 'The Word on the Street', and it maintains the standard he has set. If you like blues with vocals that convey a life of trouble, electric blues guitar and some great harmonica work, then you can do a lot worse than giving this a listen!"

'Mod Memories' by Dennis Siggery & Henry Smithson

Dennis has written another book, "Mod Memories"...

It was the swinging 60s, and Britain was just catching on to the Blues, R&B and Jazz sounds that were coming in from the USA. Pirate radio was starting up, playing the music that the BBC didn’t. Young musicians were forming bands to play this music in their own new British way, and Mod was the new look.

Music and fashion came together in London, where clubs like the Flamingo, Scene and Ronnie Scott’s were feeding the new sounds to the youth.

Dennis was a Mod in Reading, jumping the milk train on a Friday night to go ‘Up West’ - because being a Mod was all about living for the weekend and being part of the scene - the music, the clothes, the girls, and the little blue tablets..."
