Inspired with blues-rock and virtuoso playing BEN POOLE is the new boy in town, the new up-and-coming UK guitarist and one of the finest to have emerged for years. Having already played with, and acclaimed by, Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and John Mayall, at just twenty seven years of age it appears that there is no stopping him.

“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! The next Joe Bonamassa?” – TOTAL GUITAR

“Fleet-fingered and talented. His playing may be ferocious but never sacrifices precision. His phrasing belies his years. Definitely one to watch” – GUITARIST

And also on the bill… Nimmo Brothers co-frontman STEVIE NIMMO and brother Alan have successfully toured the world with five albums.

Stevie survived cancer in 2009 and stepped back, but the months of recovery refocused this super-talented Glaswegian and debut solo album The Wynds of Life was recorded in 2010 in Austin, Texas with an array of amazing musicians: Michael Ramos – Keys, George Reiff – Bass, Lloyd Maines – Steel Guitars, Pat Manske – Drums, and as a special guest guitarist David Lee Holt from Storyville.

‘Man that guy can sing!’ – DAVID GRISSOM (STORYVILLE)

‘Stevie’s voice is at times gritty, other times emotional, but all times perfection!’ – MAVERICK
