PAT FULGONI BLUES EXPERIENCE
The debut 2024 Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience album has received considerable acclaim, a no 3 in the UK blues airplay charts and a nomination in the UK Blues Awards. Already with European dates under their belts “Blues in Britain” writes ‘its a blues set to cherish… Pat and co just do them so well” Reviewing Tenby Blues Festival, Blues Matters Mag said: “There then followed an entirely different style and set of full throttle funky electric blues led by Pat Fulgoni and his Blues Experience. With a full on five piece band Fulgoni’s powerful vocal delivery worked wonders as he pushed the boat out with a confidence that highlighted this band’s importance in the growing blues world in the UK.”
In his time Pat has sung across many genres and worked with festival headlining producers from Zion Train to Camo & Krooked, London Electricity to Murdock to Coldcut and a range of weird and wonderful sounds including with Jeff Buckley / Capt Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas (NYC) as well as touring the world as a live artist and as part of Huddersfield legends Kava Kava. But it’s truly magical when he sings the blues especially when backed by the stunning musicianship of this band featuring talented musicians including Jacob Beckwith on guitar, Jaden Hart bass, Sam Bolt keys and Zebedee Sylvester drums. Billboard Magazine says “Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. They ain’t wrong and Blues Matters adds “completely blown away because he can sing, I mean really sing, ridiculously well”
CROSSCUT SAW
"A Crosscut Saw gig is a hoodoo rollercoaster of pure primeval power. No hype, no image, no posturing, no deception, just true alchemy. No two performances are ever the same, even the musicians themselves don’t know what potent brew will be cooked up”
