Lineup and details for Ben Poole on Tuesday 20th March 2012

Inspired by the Blues, infused with a hard hitting, in-yer-face rock approach and topped-off by virtuoso musicianship, Ben Poole is being talked of as the new up-and-coming UK Blues guitarist; one of the finest to have emerged in Europe for years. Having already playe...d with, and received critical acclaim from some of his heroes; legendary blues artists including Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and John Mayall, at just 22 years of age it appears that there is no stopping this young and incredibly gifted musician. His latest recordings reinforce this and make it blatantly clear that Ben is destined for a great future on the European Blues/Rock scene. F***ing amazing! I loved his playingI really loved his playing! -Jeff Beck A Really great player! -Gary Moore
Unbelievable! Its very refreshing to hear someone in todays time who reminds me of the guys who inspired me when I was young. Hell be a household name someday for sureAmazing! -Richie Kotzen Ben really brings the fire with his licks. Hes 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 its 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 This is a young man to look out for as he is no doubt a rising talent and should be supported when he comes to a local venue. -Blues Matters Magazine
Very good. A really fresh sound and style! -Paul Jones (BBC Radio 2)
Great tracks, great guitar and vocal liveone great special player! -Bernie Torme (Ozzy Osbourne, Ian Gillan/Deep Purple)
Blues Extravaganza! The guitar sounds were impeccable, the timing was beyond reproach and there was evidence of dynamic awareness throughoutThis 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 Tickets for this top young talent available now. £8.00 + Bf available from Skiddle,Ticketweb, Ripping 01312267010, TicketsScotland 01312203234
