Doors open 8pm
John Fairhurst is the British rock guitar phenomenon.
‘A mutant Jimi Hendrix/Neil Young hybrid. The inspiration here comes from Howlin’ Wolf, Muddy Waters and many others…over-driven guitar and Tom-Waits-dukes-it-out-with-Mark-Lanegan vocals… astonishingly powerful.’ (Music Riot)
A masterful musician and songwriter, John is recognised as one of the most creative guitarists on the circuit. After a great year on the road, in the studio and in each other’s pockets the band – John on guitar and vocals, Toby Murray on drums and Justin Kool on bass – have refined their sound, with John citing a melting pot of influences from Jack White and The Black Keys to Queens of the Stone Age, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Zappa, Iggy Pop, Captain Beefheart and Led Zeppelin.
Expect heavy electric guitar riffs, face-melting solos and his unmistakable growling vocals. Backed by the hardest-hitting rhythm section on the scene, John’s live shows are loud, sweaty, explosive and powerful.
