Elsie Franklin Duo
Elsie Franklin sings and plays acoustic country-blues, ragtime, and jazz on her trusty National resonator. She is a rising talent on the UK blues scene, playing all over the country. Learning from her father (renowned blues guitarist, Adam Franklin) and good friend Steve James, Elsie is often praised for her authentic, yet unique take on early blues and jazz, drawing influence from legendary female blues artists such as Memphis Minnie and Bessie Smith. As well as playing with various jazz accompanists, Elsie has formed her own all-female blues trio based in London with the highly acclaimed Francesca Nnoka Shaw (double-bass) and Carmen Ruiz Vicente (drums). “There’s no doubting that the engaging Elsie Franklin is on an upward trajectory.” Russ Cottee, Blues in Britain
James O’Hara Band
Esteemed veteran local blues legend James O’Hara has impressed at Huddersfield Blues Club events with Marc Layton-Bennett (drums), Paul Corry (guitar), Jon Burr (harmonica), and Martin Chung (bass).
James O’Hara is a UK born and based Blues musician with a wealth of experience in fronting bands since 1985 including The Detonators and The Giant killers.
James has played with Phil Guy, Lurrie Bell, Billy Branch, Jimmy Thomas, Jimmy Burns, Eddie Taylor Jr, Willie “the touch” Hayes, Chico Banks, Charles Mack, EG McDaniels, Holle Thee Maxwell, and Lazy Lester.
Backwater Blues
The Backwater Blues trio are Colin Walker on guitar and vocals, Arthur Cowdrey on bass and Mike Gilbourne on drums. They have been playing all over the Northwest for more than 20 years, including at the Colne and Burnley Blues festivals. “Their blend of hard, soulful blues deep from the heart is delivered with a hard-hitting guitar style and distinctive, emotional vocals and underpinned by a solid rhythm section, all of which has gained them loyal following”. Recent gigs at Huddersfield Blues Club and Sunday Blues Train impressed so we had to book them for Bluesbury
Hot Foot Hall
Born from the booze-filled juke joints and back-alley blues bars of the Deep West (Yorkshire), Hot Foot Hall is where raw energy meets fresh ideas. Steeped in the foot-stomping, slide-guitar wailing sounds of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and Hound Dog Taylor, this electrifying one man blues machine delivers an original take on the traditional blues that set the world on fire.
