Mat Walklate is a gifted and versatile musician. A 'name' in the worlds of traditional Irish music, world music, and particularly in this guise, Blues.

You could safely refer to him as 'Roots Royalty'. As a Harmonica player he has few peers with a feel and skill to die for. As Mike Harding of Radio 2 once said - "One of the best Harmonica players on the planet", and to be honest I wouldn't attempt to argue the point.

No slouch as a vocalist either, singing the blues with a level of authenticity rare in a white performer.

Other talents he possesses are an intelligent, dry, self-deprecating sense of humour and the unerring ability to pick top drawer collaborators. He has delighted bluefunk many times with these collaborations and with Alex Haynes is sure to do it again. I saw this pairing early in 2019 and was mightily impressed. 

This is a convergence of talent from two highly distinctive British Blues artists. Having already built individual reputations, Mat Walklate and Alex Haynes have come together, drawing on the deepest roots of the blues to create fresh and relevant songs, which expand British Blues into new territory.
The collaboration brings out the best in both artists. They blend their personalities and styles to create relevant music with a vibrant core of authenticity.
