Blues

Nominated for 2018 UK Blues Award, Glas Band are the hottest thing out of Wales since the Bad Boy Pot Noodle!
A young man in his early twenties, James Oliver is an exceptional guitar player and he is collecting high
profile fans and admirers everywhere he plays including Albert Lee, Wilko Johnson and the late Deke Leonard
(expect some MAN covers)
Fronted by Dai John on vocals and bass with Sam Andrews on drums, Glas play classic blues, classic R&B and classic rock & roll.
But there is a lot more to Glas than classic covers. Their new album Glas Blue features 11 brand new originals and has guest appearances by Bill Kirchen (guitar) and Jason Ricci (harmonica).The album is out NOW on Proper Records (Richard Thompson, Los Lobos, Jimmie Vaughan).
Released in April 2018 the album went straight into the Amazon Blues charts at #1 and has continued to sell shed loads.
Opening the show will be Leicester based Welshman Dawson Smith with his roots rockin’ roadhouse blues band The Dissenters.
If you saw their show-stopping performance at Nottingham Castle last October at the CAMRA festival then you will know you are in for a barnstorming set! The new album ‘The Mileage’ has further raised their profile and attracted glowing national reviews and loads of new followers.
