Will Killeen

Sunday 4th May, 6–8pm, The Park Inn, Park Street

Will Killeen, born in Mayo, Ireland, taught himself guitar from the age of 10. Influenced by Howlin' Wolf, Doc Watson, The Pretty Things, Robert Johnson, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, to name a few, he started to make his name at gigs around London. Will's unique blues guitar style shows influences from a mixture of country, Celtic, Eastern and rock music. Wherever he plays, he amazes audiences with his own compositions and new arrangements of traditional songs.

Accurately described as having taken on the mantle of the late Rory Gallagher, Will has become Ireland's leading acoustic blues man, as equally adept on harp as he is stunning on guitar.

A dazzling player with a huge repertoire of songs, Will is a walking blues history manual, taking you on a journey from Robert Johnson and Elmore James through to an unlikely but brilliant version of 'Duelling Banjos' - all on one acoustic guitar!
