Kyle & Shaw

Event information

Danny Kyle (guitar & vocals) and Pete Shaw (bass) present an evening of stripped-back acoustic blues music with two fantastic sets of magic largely composed of pre-war Delta, Piedmont and West Coast blues coupled with a healthy dose of jaunty ragtime and a smattering of evocative slide guitar instrumentals.

After the release of his album “Rag’n’Bone Blues” back in 2013 Danny was honoured by coming a close second to Eric Clapton in the “Best Acoustic Guitar Player” category for Blues Matters magazine’s annual awards. Busier as an instructor and guitar educator these days, the opportunities to see Danny perform live are now rarer than hens' teeth. He will be accompanied most handsomely by Pete Shaw on bass. Pete’s masterful bass playing is a wonderful compliment to Danny’s finger-picked guitar. For those who like a name drop, he has worked most notably with Chris Rea and David Knopfler.

So on the occasional leap year, during a total eclipse or when that hen grows its tooth you may just possibly be able to find them performing live together as Kyle & Shaw, but they'll be at The Midnight Special Blues Club on Monday 30 June! Certainly one not to be missed!
