AYNSLEY LISTER

Aynsley Lister does not simply reheat the blues of yesteryear - no simple 12 bar numbers here. He produces songs with a contemporary feel and sound, infusing influences from the 1960's blues boom era with a more current melodic and lyrical approach. Aynsley is one of the very few artists playing rocking blues with a modern edge - tangible, heartfelt, soul searching and full of fine songwriting; played with passion, vitality and simply stunning guitar work, reminiscent of a young Clapton.
"Anysley Lister is a precocious talent who looks like one of McFly and plays like Robert Johnson at volume 11" Pete Makowski, Classic Rock (June Edition)
8.00pm
£6 in advance (£8 on the door)
