A BLUES band with a reputation for their live performances has announced a full UK tour in support of a new album.

Wille and the Bandits will take their critically acclaimed live show to the Victoria Hall in Settle, playing tracks from their forthcoming album 'Steal'.

The performance will give bands the chance to get their hands on a copy of the album three months before it becomes widely available.

Recorded completely in analogue to ensure a live and nostalgic sound, the album features Don Airey of Deep Purple on Hammond organ and keyboards and was produced and engineered by Dave Williams at The Grange Studios in Norfolk.

Wille Edwards, the singer and guitarist, is a prolific songwriter, names Led Zeppelin, Cream and Jeff Beck as massive inspirations for their approach to rock music.

Matt Brooks is a real virtuoso on the bass and takes the lead in the melody in a way that takes the music out of standard rock while drummer Andy Naumann’s drumming incorporates in percussion more commonly seen in world music.

Wille and the Bandits will play in Settle on October 13.
