Five-Time Grammy Nominated and Multi-Platinum Selling Guitarist Ben Poole

Five-Time Grammy Nominated and Multi-Platinum Selling Guitarist Ben Poole

Five-time Grammy – nominated and multi-platinum selling guitarist Ben Poole performs at The Atkinson after his recent success at Glastonbury on Friday 17 July.

At just 25 years old he is currently being described as the most exciting young blues/roots artist to come out of the UK in a long time.

Ben performs tracks from his recently released album Live at the Albert Hall, which is going down a storm with fans and critics alike. Peaking at number 4 in the Amazon charts!

This long-awaited live snapshot shows Britain’s brightest blues-rock talent blowing the roof off the nation’s best-loved venue. “I’m first and foremost a live performer,” says Ben. “The energy, adrenaline and excitement you can conjure up live is near-impossible to capture in a studio environment. I feel like I come into my own on stage.”

He’d attempted live recordings before, but Ben had always shelved the results, feeling the tapes didn’t quite bottle the blood and thunder. Released on October 6th, Live At The Royal Albert Hall represents the moment when all the pieces came together.

“He’s a heck of a soulful singer and uses his guitar to great effect without overpowering you with guitar hero machismo.” Blues Rock Review
