Connor Selby
He has been voted “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards for the last three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022) and he already has an impressive venue checklist, including Wembley Stadium, where he opened for The Who in July 2019 and has since gone on to play Hyde Park, London, with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr in the summer of 2022.
Connor has also had a productive 2023 touring the UK as the opening act for Blues and Rock Luminaries Robert Cray and Beth Hart. It’s easy to see why, with his soulful blend of blues and his emotionally introspective songwriting, which sits alongside his impressive armoury of guitar playing.
The sky is the limit for Connor, who, along with awards, has picked up numerous plays on BBC Radio 2.

Sean Webster Band
Webster's instantly recognisable voice coupled with his heartfelt melodic guitar playing has become the feature on all his album releases. Both Webster's blues-inflected guitar licks and weathered soul shouter vocals are always passionately sung across tightly arranged songs.
"I haven't heard anyone with a voice like Sean Webster; it's a wonder that he isn't being hailed as a Blues superstar."
Russ Tippins Electric Band
The Russ Tippins Band don't go in for gimmicks - in fact what they have going for them may seem so blatantly simple that you may wonder why many other bands haven't got such a great reputation by duplicating it - just great guitar-based, down to earth rock n roll!."
