THEY say he’s one of the world’s best guitarists, and now he has a date at Worcester’s Huntingdon Hall.

And ever better, the double Grammy Award Winner Albert Lee is also an accomplished piano player with a fine singing voice.

A spokesman said: “Lee is always in great demand in the music industry, and has played on countless sessions worldwide. He has appeared and recorded with many of the finest artists in the world, including Glen Campbell, Dolly Parton, Bobby Bare, Joan Armatrading, Ricky Scaggs, Joe Cocker, and countless others. Lee is also a talented songwriter, perhaps best known for his song Country Boy, which helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players and was later to become a hit for multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs.”

Albert was a member of The Everly Brothers Band, Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band and Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings, not to mention his own band, Hogan’s Heroes.

In November 2002, he was among other world class names appearing at the Royal Albert Hall in the ‘Concert for George’, a tribute to George Harrison. He later appeared at Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival in Chicago in 2007, 2010 and 2013; at a tribute concert honouring The Everly Brothers at The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio in 2014; and in 2017 joined Emmylou Harris, Glen D Harding, Ricky Skaggs, The Whites and Jerry Douglas for a benefit concert at the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville. Even more recently, in February 2018, Albert and his Electric Band appeared on a special For One Night Only episode of The Old Grey Whistle Test.

Albert Lee will be playing on Thursday, October 25, at 7.30pm.
