About the show
Saturday night at Jamboree with the toughest and finest blues combo around, led by the renowned contemporary British blues/roots musician Errol Linton. Expect Chicago blues shot through with reggae swing, soulful harp, and a band that absolutely smokes.
As well as siding for Joe Bonamassa, Errol has played with Henry Gray, Tony Allen and Abram Wilson, and opened shows for Bo Diddley, Dr. John, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and The Blind Boys of Alabama. From a packed Glastonbury 2022 Acoustic Stage slot to a feature in BBC Two's Arena documentary Two Generations of the Blues (Blues South of the River), he is the real deal. Winner of the UK Blues Challenge in 2023, he's also the harmonica you hear tearing through Bonamassa's Grammy nominated album, Abbey Road cut 'Lookout Man!' from Royal Tea. Most recently, Errol stepped into the national spotlight again with a live session on Cerys Matthews' BBC Radio 2 Blues Show in March. The Guardian has described him as the figurehead for contemporary British blues.
Featuring
Errol Linton
Three times winner of the British Best Harmonica Player of the Year Blues Awards, Errol Linton is a harmonica wizard from Brixton (of Jamaican descent), a singer, a songwriter, a painter and the hero of the London Underground, where he played his unique and highly original blend of blues with hints of reggae for 20 years!
Following the release of his critically acclaimed 3rd album, Mama Said in 2011, his songs can now be heard on national and regional BBC radio and Jazz FM. Brixton born and bred, Errol funded the production costs for his latest album from busking for over 15 years and blends Chicago style blues with his Jamaican and London roots. But he's playing much bigger gigs now and has supported Dr John and Screaming Jay Hawkins.
