Blues Night

Grewelthorpe Village Hall, Lake Terrace, Grewelthorpe, HG4 3BU

19:00

Howlin’ Mat has lived an almost nomadic lifestyle to become one of the hardest working solo blues acts around with gigs all over the UK and Europe. Howlin’ Mat started his blues journey some 15 years ago playing material by the likes of Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Elmore James, Earl Hooker, Robert Nighthawk, and Hound Dog Taylor. In this time, he gained quite a reputation as a blues guitarist and in particular, for his slide guitar skills. He is also a talented devotee of the Cigar Box Guitar.

Dave Speight has been singing and playing the blues for over 50 years, and was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 2017. Influences range from Howling Wolf through to Elmore James and Big Bill Broonzy. ‘The fingers may have slowed …. but the voice still works.
