Matt Woosey Big Band - Blues

On Sunday 8th June, we look forward to the return of Matt Woosey to Joe Joe Jims, this time joined by his Big Band!

Matt decided at the beginning of 2024 year to have a year off from touring and performing and now thoroughly refreshed, he is looking forward to hitting the road again in 2025, playing exclusively with his Big Band project, featuring Tupac Amaru Ulloa on Flute, John Parker (Ed sheeran, Nizlopi) on Bass, Matt Worley (Robert Plant) on Guitar, 3 Backing singers and a GREAT band!

Matt's performances span from eyeball-to-eyeball solo sets in fans’ living rooms, to thundering full-band explosions that shake the most prestigious venues in Europe. He’s an artist who slips the creative handcuffs of the industry, a trailblazer with no reverse gear, a guitar visionary whose palette bleeds into folk, rock, ambient and more, having been first turned on to the world of music by the blues with an early taste for Led Zeppelin. This quickly spilled over into blues-rock heavyweights like Rory Gallagher, Paul Kossoff and Peter Green, with Tim Buckley and John Martyn also stirred into the mix (“I always loved the way they used their voices as an instrument”). Soon, passive enjoyment alone no longer enough scratched the itch, and Matt duly pinballed through a string of local bands that included a Thin Lizzy covers outfit.
