Stunning young blues rock guitarist , this below says it all !!!!



“F***ing amazing! I loved his playing…I really loved his playing!” -Jeff Beck


“A Really great player!” -Gary Moore


“Unbelievable! It’s very refreshing to hear someone in today’s time who reminds me of the guys who inspired me when I was young. He’ll be a household name someday for sure…Amazing!” -Richie Kotzen


“Ben really brings the fire with his licks. He’s got neck-snapping vibrato where he catches a bunch of strings at once and grinds the shit out of them. By the way he hits the guitar, we can only assume it’s been saying rude things about his mother! Ben impressed with his tone, touch and stage presence. Ben Poole: the next Joe Bonamassa?” -’Total Guitar’ magazine


“A fleet fingered and talented newcomer to the British blues scene. His playing may be ferocious but he rarely sacrifices precision for it. His phrasing belies his years. Definitely one to watch.” -’Guitarist’ Magazine


“This is a young man to look out for as he is no doubt a rising talent and should be supported when he comes to a local venue.” -’Blues Matters’ Magazine


“Very good. A really fresh sound and style!” -Paul Jones (BBC Radio 2)


“Great tracks, great guitar and vocal live…one great special player!” -Bernie Torme (Ozzy Osbourne, Ian Gillan/Deep Purple)


“Blues Extravaganza! The guitar sounds were impeccable, the timing was beyond reproach and there was evidence of dynamic awareness throughout…This was no “lazy” blues offering – Ben managed to sneak in everything from country licks to Satriani-style legato widdling, yet this was never to the detriment of the overall musicality of the performance. Nice!” -Guthrie Govan

Inspired by the Blues, infused with a hard hitting, “in-yer-face” rock approach and topped-off by virtuoso musicianship, Ben Poole is being talked of as “the” new up-and-coming UK Blues guitarist; one of the finest to have emerged in Europe for years. Having already played with, and received critical acclaim from some of his heroes; legendary blues artists including Jeff Beck, Gary Moore and John Mayall, at just 22 years of age it appears that there is no stopping this young and incredibly gifted musician. His latest recordings reinforce this and make it blatantly clear that Ben is destined for a great future on the European Blues/Rock scene.

Guitar International Magazine (October 2010) By Matt Warnock

In my job as Editor for Guitar International I get a ton of emails from guitarists all over the world who want me to check out their site, album, YouTube channel or ebook. While many of these guitarists are, how do I say this, still in the development stage of their careers, once in a while I get an email from a guitarist like Clare Free. Clare is the real deal. A singer, songwriter and killer blues guitarist...

It’s not often that a guitarist from today’s endless sea of players can really grab my attention and hold it long enough to listen to their album, dig into their website and then feature them on GI, but Clare Free is one of those rare guitarists. A player who has soul, a knack for melody and enough emotion in her blues-guitar work to grab your ears and drag you into her musical world.
