 Vince Lee - Blues Guitarist
Vince has been a mainstay on the South West's live music scene for over 25 years. An authentic, virtuoso blues musician who has always been an active promoter of blues music in and around his home town, Plymouth. He toured the UK & Europe extensively for 10 years as frontman with The Wildcards, and he has recorded & helped produce 4 further albums with fellow blues songwriter/guitarist Thomas Ford. 
Vince & his partner Becca Langsford have performed together in various band settings since meeting in 2008. A keen collector of vintage American guitars & amplifiers, Vince has become a slightly obsessive expert on Harmony guitars & related brands from the golden age of blues & rock 'n' roll.

​SUNDAY 8TH MAY - 7.30PM

Joanna Cooke - Soul Singer
Motown legend Martha Reeves summed it up perfectly, describing Joanna Cooke as “the baby girl singing the blues". Joanna, much like her South West blonde counterparts, Joss Stone and Jo Harman, demonstrates that true soul and emotional connection is not simply constrained by colour or creed. Moreover, her self-penned songs leave a lasting impression on audiences, by dint of their raw honesty and song craft.
