Connolly Hayes
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.
