SSB

is

much

more

than

just

a

rock

band.

It's

a

story

of

​passion,

courage

and

resilience.

Born

in

early

70,

the

band

continues

to

mark

the

French and Anglo-Saxon musical landscape with its neo-progressive rock compositions with Pink Floyd sensibilities.

The

story

of

SSB

–

Sloane

Square

Band

begins

with

the

name

SLOANE

in

the

70s.

At

the

origin

of

the

band,

there

is

Claude

SEGALIN,

guita

-

rist,

singer,

author

and

composer.

He

composed

a

rock

opera

called

"GUELF"

in

1974,

which

has

been

performed

several

times

in

concerts

all

over France. SLOANE dissolved in 1978 by itself.

Forty

years

later,

a

meeting

with

one

of

his

former

bassists

gave

Claude

SEGALIN

the

desire

to

start

again

this

musical

adventure.

He

compo

-

sed new songs and brought the band back to life during a memorable and successful concert in St Rémy de Provence in June 2017.

Since

then,

talented

new

professional

musicians

have

joined

the

band

to

give

birth

new

compositions

and

musical

projects

"MUSIC

IS

AGELESS..."

Sloane

then

became

SSB

(Sloane

Square

Band)

and

remained

committed

to

its

contribution

for

the

“Ligue

Contre

le

Cancer”,

french

charity

institution against cancer.

In

September

2021,

a

second

album

entitled

"GUELF"

(a

nod

to

Sloane's

rock

opera

of

the

70's)

was

composed

and

written

by

Claude

SEGALIN. Recorded in Fabien Giordani's FATLAB studios.

Since

the

end

of

2022,

SSB

–

Sloane

Square

Band

bass,

Leina

VINX

on

and
