LIGHTNIN' WILLIE AND THE POORBOYS are at The Bullfrog Blues Club on Thursday 2nd July - NOT TO BE MISSED!!! Lightnin Willie is brilliant performer who has the rare ability to work an audience and generate a massive level of enjoyment, as was witnessed at his last appearance at The Bullfrog! We're delighted to welcome this fine singer, guitarist and all round showman back at The Bullfrog, with his great band.. Emerging from the clubs and bars of the U.S Blues scene, Lightnin' Willie is an accomplished and hard-working guitarist, vocalist and songwriter. Now based in Los Angeles, Willie is a seasoned musician who has paid his dues. With four albums under his belt, this eloquent storyteller has his own story of time on the road, personal loss, fresh beginnings and an over-riding love of playing the "Devil's Music". The new album, "Lucky As The Devil" features Sylvio on bass (Italy), Franck Rouleau on drums (France) and Giles King (U.K.), who Willie says is "the best harmonica player I know". Giles joins Willie at The Bullfrog, together with Aaron McRobbie on bass, and Bruce Barber on drums. Lightnin' Willie is the cover artist and featured Musician inside the June 2009 issue of "Blues In Britain" magazine.
