Bryn Haworth came to London from Lancashire in the late sixties to join "Fleur de Lys" a motown/ soul band which became house band for Atlantic Records in England. When the band folded Bryn travelled to California and from there toured extensively in the US in various American bands, including the Jackie Lomax Band, and Wolfgang, a band put together and managed by the legendary Bill Graham, appearing on bills with such artists as Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Taj Mahal, Moody Blues and others. 1973 he returned to England and was signed to Island records where he made his first LP "Let The Days Go By". He has been called a 'musician's musician' - a first class rock musician whose music has its roots in blues and r&b. He plays guitars and mandolin and is particularly recognised a remarkable exponent of the slide (or bottleneck) guitar, a technique derived from the blues. His is a more gentle and mellow approach than others which beautifully compliments his highly melodic songs. He has recorded with top musicians including Chris de Burgh, Joan Armatrading, Ian Mathews, and Gerry Rafferty. Amongst his latest sessions have been those for Gerry Rafferty on his latest albums: "On A Wing And A Prayer", "Over My Head", and "Another World" released on the Hyperion label in Jan 2003--listen out in particular for Bryn's slide guitar on the opening track 'All Souls'. Bryn also writes his own songs, and has had several of his own compositions recorded by other artists including Lulu, Sandy Denny, and Mary Black on her 1999 album "Speaking With The Angel".

Entrance is by ticket (£5:00 available on the door, or in advance). Contact us on info@artscafe.org for details or tickets.
