Blues guitarist, singer & songwriter Todd Sharpville declared his arrival on the UK blues scene in no uncertain terms when his first album, 1994’s “Touch of Your Love” bested both Eric Clapton and Gary Moore in the “best guitarist” category of the British Blues Awards (also winning “best album”).

Still regularly headlining British blues festivals and touring the continental and American blues circuit, he’s become a staple figure amongst aficionados of the genre. The band that Todd has assembled for this show is similarly auspicious, Steve Large (Squeeze, Simply Red)-keyboards, Matt Round (James Morrison, Lulu)-bass and Mark Mondesir (Jeff Beck, John McLaughlin)-drums. Proper, heartfelt blues played with authentic style and character.
