Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience at “Brews n Blues” night at the Sixth Fiend Taphouse, Slaithwaite

With 2 x UK Blues Awards nominations in 2025 and 2026, Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience have played top blues festivals at home and abroad. Cerys Matthews said of Pat Fulgoni's CD “Sounds brilliant doesn’t it” while Blues Matters says ""completely blown away because he can sing, I mean really sing ridiculously well”

This year's Great British Rhythm & Blues Festival over in COLNE features Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience on the MAIN STAGE. This is what it says on the website:

"Pat Fulgoni is an acclaimed British singer and bandleader fronting the Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience, a powerhouse five-piece delivering soulful, contemporary blues infused with rock, funk and deep groove.

Equally at home on major European blues festival stages and across the UK club and venue circuit, the band has quickly established itself as a vital force on the modern blues scene.

The group features Pat Fulgoni on vocals, Jacob Beckwith on guitar, Jaden Hart on bass, Sam Bolt on keyboards, and Zebedee Sylvester on drums, an exceptional lineup whose musicianship underpins the band’s dynamic, emotionally charged sound.

Their latest release, Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience, has received widespread international acclaim, charting at #3 on the IBBA Most Played Blues Albums (UK) and #3 on the Roots Music Report UK Albums Chart (USA), alongside UK Blues Awards nominations in 2025 and 2026. 

Press praise has been emphatic, with reviewers highlighting Fulgoni’s powerful, honeyed vocal delivery, often compared to Paul Rodgers, and the band’s polished, propulsive performances.A seasoned performer, Fulgoni has appeared at SXSW, where Billboard famously noted he “could sing a pearl from its oyster,” and has been championed by BBC Radio, Blues Matters and leading blues publications worldwide. 

Beyond blues, his career spans high-profile collaborations across electronic, soul and experimental music.At his best, backed by the band’s exceptional musicianship, Fulgoni delivers soaring, emotionally charged blues inspired by Ray Charles, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Jimi Hendrix: sometimes raw and electrifying, sometimes deeply heart-wrenching, but always compelling"

AND HERE'S A FEW LIVE REVIEWS 

(Blues Matters Mag at Tenby Blues Festival 2024) “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.”

(Blues Matters Mag at York Blues Festival 2026) "Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience brought the house up another level. Seasoned festival favourites and well known to Blues Matters readers, they delivered a commanding set packed with quality songs and conviction. Pat’s commitment to the scene is obvious every time he steps on stage.”
