Ronnie Greer & The Ronnie Greer Band

Blues guitar legend Ronnie Greer returns to the festival with his powerhouse band for another night of top class blues and roots music, played with soul and passion by some of the finest musicians in the country.

Ronnie's Chicago and Texas blues style, imbued with a touch of jazz, is perfectly complimented by Anthony Toner's rootsy slide guitar, evoking Ry Cooder and David Lindlay. Pulling it all together is the peerless duo of Alan Hunter on bass and Colm Fitzpatrick on drums.

A show that will appeal to those who enjoy great music played well! Anthony has also found success with his single ‘Sailortown’ and composing for stage and TV.
