Guitarist returns to stage at Blues Bar after six-year hiatus

Guitarist Dave Hanson is performing in Harrogate in January.

Guitarist Dave Hanson is set to take to the stage at Blues Bar in Harrogate in January after a six-year hiatus.

Hanson's highly-anticipated performance will be on 30th January 2025, showcasing songs from his critically acclaimed albums "Almost Horizontal" and "Everybody's Got a Right To Be Free”.

But he will also pay homage to blues legends such as Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Tony Joe White, and Chris Rea with his soul-stirring covers.

The band features Hanson on Vocals/Guitar accompanied by long-time associates Steve Hanley on Drums, Martin Longhawn on Keyboards and Matt Baxter on Guitar alongside new Bassist Sam Jackson.

The event, which offers free entry to all attendees, will kick off at 9pm.

Dave Hanson said:

“I’m excited to dust down the Stratocaster and get back on stage after what feels like an eternity. 

“I’m looking forward to performing songs from the second album which was released in Lockdown live on stage for the first time.”
