This pairing is a convergence of talent from two highly distinctive British blues artists.
Having already built individual reputations, Mat Walklate and Alex Haynes have come together, drawing on the deepest roots of the blues to create fresh and relevant songs, which expand British blues into new territory.
The collaboration between award-winning harmonica player/blues singer Mat Walklate, and singer/guitarist Alex Haynes brings out the best in both artists. The pair blend their personalities and styles to create relevant music with a vibrant core of authenticity.
They will be joined by James Lawley on guitar. James is a superb blues guitarist and he expertly augments the duo.
