Warm-up for Tenby Blues Festival


Tenby Blues Festival & Span Arts present: The Jay Tamkin Band and Chris Quinn, Friday 7 June at the Queens Hall, Narberth.
Running order:
Doors 8pm.
Julian Murphy & Marc Davies 8.30 - 9 .10
Chris Quinn 9.15 - 10.00
Jay Tamkin 10.15 - 11.15
Still in his early '20s, Jay Tamkin has achieved so much; as a singer, songwriter and versatile instrumentalist, he has been described as “a young Jimi Hendrix”.
“Just what blues has been waiting for,” Green Man magazine
A “congenital talent,” (Classic Rock magazine), Tamkin is blowing away critics with “instinctive guitar mangling and hip-bucking groove” on his latest album, Alibi.
As well as having recently performed on Glastonbury’s main stage and at the BBC Maida Vale studios, this young British bluesman has shared the bill with a list of legends including Jools Holland, Roy Ayers, The Blockheads, John Mayall, and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

Chris Quinn’s songwriting has been widely acclaimed in the national press and he has a growing reputation as a great live performer. As Hickman and Quinn, Chris is well-known in the UK’s folk and roots scene, and he’s also part of the world famous Robin Nolan Trio, one of the hottest gypsy jazz acts on the planet!
"A master of the acoustic guitar,” Maverick magazine
Quinn covers a wide range of music, from bluegrass flatpicking to beautiful interpretations of British folk, and from hot swing jazz pieces to mean finger-style delta blues guitar.
His career so far has included playing at BB Kings Blues Club in New York, touring with Hickman & Quinn as the opening act with The Jools Holland Orchestra, and performing with the Robin Nolan Trio at the Royal Albert Hall.
Support comes from Pembrokeshire’s own Julian Murphy, alongside guitarist Marc Davies. Together they will be playing acoustic versions of their own music.
Doors open at 8pm.
Tickets are £9 / £7 concessions,
