Joe Woolley
First London headline show for sharp-suited young guitarist Woolley, who
spans classic jazz, folk and blues influences in his own contemporary
finger-picking style.
In his hometown of Northampton and in London Joe has played shows with
old masters of the acoustic scene like Wizz Jones, Barry "The Fish"
Melton and Davy Graham. As well as playing in his own right across the
UK and Germany, for the past year Joe has toured the UK with Will
Carruthers' Freelovebabies.
>From influences including Ray Charles, The Kinks, Slim Gaillard,
Mississippi John Hurt and Bert Jansch, Joe has fashioned a personal
style where the English charm and wit of Kevin Ayers comes backed up
with the guitar chops of a modern day Lightning Hopkins. He mixes
original numbers with covers of tunes from all across the twentieth
century.and beyond.
