WILLE And The Bandits can be seen at Victoria Hall in Saltaire on Friday, October 6 as they take rock into unknown territory.

The band are renowned for mixing award-winning musicianship with intoxicating songs that do not compromise.

Classic Rock magazine praised the band’s socially-aware lyrics and planet-hopping instrumentation, while Total Guitar magazine called musician Wille Weissenborn “Gary Moore times 10”.

A spokesman said: “Each Bandit can be seen at points playing instruments simultaneously, some of which, such as the tongue drum, mohan venna and djembe, are rarely seen in western music and almost never in the Blues Rock scene.”

“The lyrics of many of Wille Edwards’ songs delve deep. Some lead us through a journey of self-realisation, others paint a picture that unashamedly draws on global issues.”
