DISTINGTON music promoter Alan Hewitt is bringing top blues musician Julian Piper to West Cumbria this month.
Julian is the only British blues guitarist to have won a WC Handy Award - the blues equivalent of the Oscars - and recently appeared at Morgan Freeman’s Ground Zero Blues Club in Mississippi.
He and his band, the Junkyard Angels, have shared the stage with Robert Cray, Buddy Guy and B B King.
Julian will play at the Central in Egremont on May 17 and at the John Paul Jones in Whitehaven the following night. Both gigs are free at 9pm.
