The Story of Wille & the Bandits began upon Wille’s decision to leave for Australia (his birth place) after he finished school in the UK, knowing his way around a guitar and being able to sing a little he embarked on a mission to pay his way by busking. Skip forwards five years and Wille is now considered one of Europe’s finest Slide guitar players. Wille & the Bandits are on a journey, which has so far been miraculous. All achieved through hard work and a true passion for making music.

“These boys can groove and sing like whiskey angels and it doesn’t take long to realise why they belong on the festival circuit.” Glastonbury festival



"This incredibly talented band excels in playing not just one or two musical styles but in fact focus on several genres to an extremely high quality." Maverick Magazine



If Cream had spent more time on a beach in Newquay they might have sounded like this.”

Blues Matters Magazine



Will Edwards bourbon-laced vocals instantly grab you after hearing the first note sung, the Dobro is a superb instrument and when it is played like this you notice how sublime the band really is.
