The Jon Walsh Blues Band is a real blues band! Not a blues-rock band, nor a rock band disguised as blues band although we may branch out into the odd jazzier number occasionally. Saying that, don’t think that we only play the "crying in your beer" kind of blues because we can boogie along with the very best! This band can conjure up all the different colours and moods of the blues – it rocks, boogies, stomps, howls, cries and weeps.

Here are some quotes that Festival and Blues Club organisers have kindly said about us:

"Jon plays the blues. No, I mean he really plays the blues!" ..... "This is one of the best genuine blues bands I have seen in a very long time." .... "Outstanding! Not to be missed!" ...... Bruce Mason (Landlord/owner) The Cross Keys, Great Bedwyn.

"Jon Walsh is a guitarist who can turn on the angst or wind up the boogie with equal aplomb."...... "a top notch band who are currently at the top of their game!" ……… Reading Arts Centre (Thirdsday Blues).

"This band has got it right, fantastic blues and a great presence on stage, a must see!" ……… Basingstoke Blues Club.

"What a great pleasure to have this wonderful band for the final main gig of the weekend!" ...... "….you'll love the Jon Walsh Blues Band!"

……… Swanage Blues Festival (March 2007).

"Jon Walsh, brilliant! Just got back home from the weekend (Swanage Blues Festival 2007) and his CD is on its second play. Where has this band been hiding?" …… Michael Pile (Blues fan at Swanage Blues Festival 2007)
