Mark Harrison
Mark is doing something fresh and different, tapping into the timeless quality of the early blues to produce music totally relevant to the present day. His highly distinctive songs cover a wide range of non-standard topics. They all have something to say or a story to tell. They’ll make you move, make you think, make you smile.
He is a thrilling, rhythmic finger-picker and slide player, with a very distinctive style and sound. He plays a 1934 National resonator guitar and a 12-string guitar as well as singing. He has been described as ‘one of the UK’s foremost acoustic blues performers’.
“One of the British Isles great blues singers and guitarists – total and absolutely original” (Mike Harding)
