Debz brings the energy, power, voice and look to the show. She has been performing on the circuit for a number of years and impersonating Debbie for over 8 years and has a great deal of experience on the live circuit. She has worked with the likes of Will Young, Blue, G4, Lemar, Liberty X, Slade, Roy Wood, The Searchers, Showaddywaddy, TNT, plus performances for Rick Wakeman (Yes), the cast of Eastenders and The Bill. You may also catch her vocals on radio and TV ads. She also featured in the official UK chart in 2004. Plus you may also spot her in the background on Welsh soap Pobol y Cwm! She has also worked with top EMI producer Mike Myers and done studio work with legend Original Merseybeat Tony. Her CV is certainly lengthy and she is clearly a true professional. Paying her tribute to one of the strongest woman in music, she has paid detailed attention to every movement, every word, and voice to create her impersonation to be as close as she can to the real thing! Introduced to Debbie by her older brother in the 80’s, she always loved Blondie and decided to put the tribute together after constantly being told ‘you sound just like Debbie Harry!’ - and Atomic Blondie were born! She will getcha... one way or another! 2014 sees our Debz in her 10th year of impersonating Blonde-icon Debbie Harry!

Not content with being musical director, drummer/percussionist Derek Bisset lends his considerable ability and power to this already formidable line up. A real professional, his track record is highly impressive (& interminably lengthy!). With such an accomplished musician in charge along with Debz, the inevitable result is the UK's premier Blondie Tribute Band. Derek is also one of South Wales' most sought after drum teachers! His lively and entertaining performance makes his own tribute to the lively drummer Clem Burke a match made in heaven!		Bassist Paul Guy has attained a level of competence that ideally suits this ace tribute band. With his roots now firmly in the Cardiff area his consistently solid backing has enabled AB to confidently produce the unique feel of the Blondie line. His attention to detail is very impressive and his professionalism and dedication means he has been a founder member of AB. His passion for music is clear - you wait 'til you hear the bass solo in Atomic! Now with his own fan club too! Not to be Missed.
Aled, one of our original members, is proud to be a part of AB's talented team of musicians. Every performer adopts a style and technique that is invariably drawn from familiarity with that of a mentor/idol, in Aled Williams' case this is undoubtedly Mark Knopfler. His style is perfect for the Blondie tribute band and this young man's ability to recreate the lead guitar work in Blondie is beyond compare. Aled studied Music at the Academy of Contemporary Music and is a highly sought after Guitar Teacher in south Wales. All the band have studied Blondie in great detail to recreate 'the next best thing'. Fans both male & female are always more then impressed by his talent and are always blown away!		Introducing the newest (and youngest!) member - Aidan is a self taught singer/songwriter who loves what he does and enjoys the challenges that playing in Atomic Blondie gives him as an instrumentalist. He has been singing and playing the piano since the age of 13 and has also taught himself other instruments including the guitar and drums. A musician with very broad taste, Aidan takes in and absorbs all the best bits of music from across the genres and plays the part of Blondie's legendary keyboard player/backing vocalist Jimmy Destri like a true pro re-creating those famous solos in Call Me and Tide is High like he caught them the first time around!
