Anyone interested in contemporary British blues/roots music will be aware of Errol Linton who was a finalist in the UK Blues Awards 2025.
The Brixton born, raised and resident singer, harmonica player and songwriter has earned his spurs as leader of the most dynamic live band in the UK – Linton and band take the stage night after night, making music that gets audiences dancing and cheering. This is the funky stuff, blues with a reggae tinge and jazz flavours. Black British music with roots in Mississippi and New Orleans, Kingston and London. Linton creates a dynamic, original sound like no other artist anywhere.
Linton won the UK Blues Challenge 2023 and represented the UK Blues Federation both at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, USA, and the European Blues Challenge in Braga, Portugal. The band regularly play in Belgium, Holland, France, Spain and Poland, have appeared at Glastonbury and Wilderness festivals.

After 30 years in the game, Errol could coast on his reputation - and that of his superb band – drummer Kenrick Rowe and double bassist Lance Rose are in demand players, regularly working with top reggae, jazz, 2-Tone and rock outfits. Pianist Pete Zivkovic and guitarist Richie Green have backed leading soul, funk and blues singers. Not a chance: Errol’s determined to keep developing and the new album Break The Seal has ten new songs, of which eight are original - the other two being imaginative adaptations of old blues tunes. and is dedicated to the memory of Ruby Naomi Linton – “my dear mother” – whose sudden passing in 2023 gave Errol the deepest blues he’s ever had to deal with. “At least I’ve got the music to express my pain,” says Linton. “Pain and joy – we play a lot of happy blues.” He chuckles then announces its time to go to work –“These are hard times and to survive them we have to be a hard working band,” says Errol Linton, proud leader of the finest live band in Britain.
