Fast becoming the next Irish blues guitar hero in the footsteps of Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, former Young Guitarist of the YearSimon McBride has undeniable guitar artistry combined with a fine voice and a knack for creating memorable hooks and great melodies.

The energy and aggression of Simon’s live show recalls those much-missed Irish masters, but McBride’s sound is his own – as demonstrated on his much acclaimed latest album Crossing The Line.

“McBride is now amongst the best blues-rock players anywhere in the world” – Guitarist Magazine

Simon will be joined by special guests Mike Sweeney and Paddy O’Hare with The Collective. Taking their cues from blues, country, folk, rockabilly, rock n roll and influences from the likes of Elmore James through to Woodie Guthrie, Mike and Paddy use a mix of acoustic and retro-electric guitars, harmonica, banjo, mandolin, upright bass and cajon to produce a unique amalgam of them all.
