Wizz Jones – Acoustic Guitarist, Singer-Songwriter and Bluesman!
Originally inspired by seeing Big Bill Broonzy and Ramblin’ Jack Elliot, Wizz learnt
his guitar licks from the likes of Davy Graham and Long John Baldry whilst playing
in the coffee bars of London’s Soho in the late 1950’s.
He then followed the time-honoured buskers’ trail from the streets of Paris to the
markets of Marrakech during the early 1960’s and returned to Britain with a unique
acoustic guitar style, an eclectic repertoire and “a right hand worthy of Broonzy.”
Clapton, Keith Richards and the late John Renbourn have all named him as an
important early influence and Bruce Springsteen opened his Berlin concert in May
2012 with Wizz’s song “When I Leave Berlin”.
After more than 50 years on the road - and now in his late-seventies - Wizz shows
shows no sign of slowing down and continues to tour on the Acoustic Folk and Blues
Circuit. Wizz will be appearing at The Kitchen Garden Cafe, Kings Heath on Sunday
19th March - Doors 7.30pm and tickets are priced £10 adv / £12 Door .
