Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience

Acclaimed singer Pat Fulgoni fronts this new top notch 5 piece blues band from Yorkshire, already with European blues festival dates under their belts and equally at home in UK clubs, venues and festivals.
Over at SXSW in Texas, Billboard Magazine once declared "Pat Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. Indeed Pat has sung across many styles including major dance floor collaborations with the likes of festival headlining acts Camo & Krooked, Zion Train, Technimatic, London Elektricity and Murdock. But its truly magical when he sings the blues especially when backed by the stunning musicianship of his band featuring Chillo Angelini on guitar, Rory Wells on bass, Sam Bolt on keys and Zebedee Sylvester on drums.

In 2021 the "Dark Side of the Blues - Pat Fulgoni Live In Prague” album reached #2 in Roots Music Report's UK albums chart (approx 300 US radio stations) with Chicago Blues Guide maintaining its: “a collection of impeccably reworked blues and rock covers” and Blues Matters Mag writing: "I was completely blown away because he can sing, I mean, really sing. Ridiculously well”

Expect soaring soulful vocals over vibey guitar and piano orientated blues along the lines of Ray Charles, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix.

Sometimes balls out, sometimes deeply heart wrenching, Blues In Britain magazine are quite right to say its "a blues rock set to cherish... Pat and co just do them so well”

The Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience set includes original compositions alongside glorious renditions of Ray Charles, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Johnson and more

+ Support from
The Dogshark Blues Band

The Dogshark Blues Band are Andy "Dogshark" Devine (Vox/Guitar), Matt Clarkson (Drums) & Symon Verity (Bass). Coming out of the COVID pandemic in early 2022 Andy decided, after being retired from professional performance for many years, that he needed to get back to the stage. And that he must fulfil a lifelong ambition of fronting a Blues Band. He started reaching out to fellow like minded players and was lucky enough to find Matt and Symon. Matts background was in Rock but his recently acquired passion for the Blues found him instinctually ideal for the band. Symon, like Andy, is a lifelong Blues man and fits in like a eskimo in snow. They've been rehearsing solidly for the last three months and are now ready to take to the stage. Their approach is that they each bring their own individualism to the Blues, and while they are covering many Blues classics, they do so with their own unique attack and sound.
