The Alex Voysey Blues Band presents ‘Best of the Blues’

Alex Voysey is one of the most exciting emerging artists on the current UK Blues scene with a core following built on the reputation of exhilarating and virtuosic blues rock live performances and phenomenal musicianship. Joined by virtuosic funk bass player Ben Hands on his monster 6 string Dingwall, the talents of drum maestro Paul Arthurs and keys wizard Andy Allpass this is a band that excites audiences wherever they go.

Following their sell out show at Skipton Town Hall in 2024, Alex and the band return with ‘Best of the Blues’, – a show that combines tracks from Alex’s IBBA no.1 album ‘Blues In Isolation’ with material from the greatest blues artists who have been his inspiration over the last ten years – Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King, Keb Mo and many more…

Recently nominated as one of only 5 bands to compete in the UK Blues Challenge, their new album ‘Blues In Isolation’ reached the prestigious number one slot in the IBBA charts in May 2024, ‘an album full of stunning guitar virtuosity’ Blues In Britain. Co-produced by Paul Long (Catfish/BB King/BBC Radio 2) and drummer Paul Arthurs it launched to a sold-out Cheltenham Playhouse featuring original material that is at once engaging, complex and memorable.

In May 2024 Alex was honoured to dep with the mighty international powerhouse band Catfish and continues to work with them on a new project for 2025. Other recent highlights have included the band’s debut at the legendary Soho Pizza Express jazz club and headlining at the Great British Rhythm and Blues Festival, with sold-out debut shows at festivals and blues clubs around the country in this only their 3rd year of partnership.
