Gwyn Ashton - Blues Rock Guitarist / Singer-Songwriter

Event information

We're excited to announce that we have secured the services of one of the hardest working and powerful one-man bands, rock/blues guitar legend Gwyn Ashton, for Saturday 5th April!

Welsh–Australian Ashton is on the top of the list of the new wave of modern blues rock artists, as spearheaded by The Black Keys, Jack White, Seasick Steve et al. A first class entertainer he oozes stagecraft and showmanship, combining songs and stories from a road well-travelled with dextrous guitar playing, blasting out drum beats on Bill Ward’s old Black Sabbath drum kit, grinding fuzz bass lines with his thumb while he viciously attacks his guitar with a bottleneck slide, singing and blowing blues harp into a lo-fi radio microphone.

Cutting his teeth with Sydney-based Swanee in the mid-80s, Ashton has worked with a who's who of musicians/bands/sol artists over the years including being lead guitarist in Europe with Band of Friends (Rory Gallagher’s band) and in Australia with Stevie Wright (Easybeats) and Jim Keays (Master’s Apprentices). He has shared stages with BB King, Buddy Guy, Ray Charles, Peter Green, Van Morrison, Hubert Sumlin (Howlin’ Wolf), Mick Taylor, Status Quo, The Yardbirds, Slade, Robin Trower, Steve Hackett, Wishbone Ash, The Troggs and more. He has been invited onstage to jam with Mick Fleetwood, Canned Heat, Walter Trout, Elliot Randall (Steely Dan) and many others!

Don't miss what will be a great show from a legendary musician in an intimate setting.
