Event information
When Ben played for The Haven Club last year he had us totally in awe of his musicianship - what a show! Since then he has brought out a highly successful album recorded at Bluesfest at the Albert Hall and continued his rapidly rising musical journey in his own right as well as supporting Matt Schofield on his annual UK tour.
Check him out on www.benpooleband.com
Here are a few accolades:
“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. Ben Poole: the next Joe Bonamassa?” -’Total Guitar’ magazine
“A fleet fingered and talented newcomer to the British blues scene. His playing may be ferocious but he rarely sacrifices precision for it. His phrasing belies his years. Definitely one to watch.” -’Guitarist’ Magazine
“Very good. A really fresh sound and style!” -Paul Jones (BBC Radio 2)
“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
