Connolly Hayes UK

Saturday 2 May

Con­nol­ly Hayes is the lat­est ris­ing star of the British blues scene. The five-piece band blends blues, south­ern rock, and soul with infec­tious ener­gy. Their debut album Remem­ber Me made an imme­di­ate impact, earn­ing the group two nom­i­na­tions at the UK Blues Awards — not bad for a bunch of friends who have only been mak­ing music togeth­er for a few years.

At the heart of the band is Jess Hayes’s warm, soul­ful voice, paired with Frankie Connolly’s razor-sharp slide gui­tar. The result is a thrilling inter­play, expert­ly enhanced by the oth­er band mem­bers. They are only just hit­ting their stride, yet they have already built a rep­u­ta­tion as a bona fide live sen­sa­tion.

Get ready!
