About this Event

When you hear comments such as these from one of the worlds’ greatest guitar players and one of the leading UK roots magazines you just know they have heard something very special. Ben Poole is currently being described as the most exciting young blues guitarist to come out of the UK for a long, long time.



“Ben really brings the fire with his licks. He’s got neck-snapping vibrato where he catches a bunch of strings at once and grinds the shit out of them. By the way he hits the guitar, we can only assume it’s been saying rude things about his mother! Ben impressed with his tone, touch and stage presence" - Total Guitar’ magazine



“Blues Extravaganza! The guitar sounds were impeccable, the timing was beyond reproach and there was evidence of dynamic awareness throughout…This was no “lazy” blues offering – Ben managed to sneak in everything from country licks to Satriani-style legato widdling, yet this was never to the detriment of the overall musicality of the performance. Nice!” - Guthrie Govan
