Fast becoming the next Irish blues guitar hero in the footsteps of Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore, former Young Guitarist of the Year Simon McBride is coming to Telford’s Warehouse in Chester on Monday, March 17.
This unassuming kid from Belfast picked up his first guitar at ten and eschewed formal lessons to bend his fingers around the music of Free, Jeff Beck and Hendrix.
At 16, he turned pro, leaving education behind to wow the world as a hired gun in projects that ranged from filling Vivian Campbell’s shoes in Sweet Savage, to R&B and soul with ex-Commitments vocalist Andrew Strong.
He has supported such great names as Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck and and Joe Bonamassa.
Tickets £14. Call 01244 390090 or visit www.telfordswarehouse.com.
