    Original Acoustic Blues Roots Singer/Songwriter
    Nigerian born folk and blues musician Paul Ubana Jones has in the past supported the likes of such luminaries as Crowded House Tracey Chapman, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan & Ben Harper. It's little wonder that Paul Ubana has become a highly sought after musician. Paul's acoustic guitar, fantastic percussion & bass are layered gently with his remarkable vocals. A profoundly intelligent & moving set of lyrics serve only to cap off a remarkable work. Quite simply, ignoring this gig is not an option.

    International singer/songwriter and folk guitarist -
    A lively and accomplished improviser of folk, ragtime, jazz and blues music, Michael has gained a reputation for re-working material, both before an audience and on record. Songs were seen as standards, themes to be explored, extended and varied on stage and in the studio. This self-styled old blues guy from Yorkshire is one of the most under-rated heroes of our time with his uniquely English melancholic perspective and emotive guitar style he deserves wider recognition.
