IAN SIEGAL
Charismatic, massively talented and as ruggedly handsome as they come, MOJO magazine rates Siegal ” the cleverest writer and most magnetic performer of Blues in the UK.”
It has been said that had Siegal been around in the sixties he would today be accorded the same reverence as artists such as Van Morrison and Joe Cocker. Instead, he is a child of the seventies who dropped out of art college in the late eighties to go busking in Germany. From the streets of Berlin Siegal progressed to clubs around Nottingham, then to London and ultimately to major stages around Europe.
He has a catalogue of highly regarded recordings to his credit; but Siegal’s true forte is playing to an audience. He takes command of the stage in a way very few artists alive today can match. Sweat, passion, humour, balls-to-the-wind slide guitar and a soul-infused voice big enough to fell trees! It has won him an ever-growing following of fans and a horde of female admirers.
