"One of the most gifted singers and writers in contemporary Blues" Mojo Magazine Ian Siegal has won the following British Blues Awards: Best Male Vocalist 2011 & 2012 & 2013 Best Acoustic Artist 2012 Best Contemporary Blues Album 2013 Best Blues Song 2013 Support act is the wonderful Christy DeHaven. Ian Siegal last played on the Isle of Man in 2007 at the Big Wheel Blues Festival. It was a memorable night as Siegal’s forte is playing to an audience. He takes command of the stage in a way very few artists alive today can match. Sweat, passion, humour, balls-to-the-wind slide guitar and a soul-infused voice big enough to fell trees! It has won him an ever-growing following of fans (and a horde of female admirers). Multiple award winning Blues-man, Ian Siegal will be playing at the Royal Albert Hall in London the night before his forthcoming visit to the Isle of Man.
