The pair met in Manchester in 2014, since when they have played most of the major festivals across the UK and Europe, including opening the Blues Festival in Palermo, Sicily.

A formidable partnership, they capture classic 50s and 60s blues with power and authenticity along with R&B and a little ska.

British Blues Harp Champion Mat Walklate on harmonica and vocals and Paolo Fuschi on guitar deliver hot, driving harp, immaculate, searing guitar and soulful vocals recreating the best of the golden age of urban blues.

The show starts at 4pm on July 10, with the door charge £8.
