Hans Theessink in Stage 2 at The Stables, Milton Keynes

Hans Theessink is probably Europe‘s blues export no 1. After 8.000 concerts and 50 years “on the road” Hans has become a roots and blues institution. With his sonorous baritone voice and unmistakable guitar work Hans is in great demand – delighting audiences around the world with his rich and emotional sounds.
The US blues press called him “an international blues treasure” and “one of the world’s pre-eminent pickers”. The legendary Bo Diddley called him “one helluva guitar player”. In 2018 Hans was inducted into the Dutch Blues Hall Of Fame.
Hans has more than 30 albums, an instruction video, a songbook and a DVD to his name. His recordings are in high demand in HiFi circles for their excellent audiophile sound. Live and in the recording studio Hans has worked with many prominent musical friends. Among them C&W-icons Dolly Parton and Cowboy Jack Clement, folk artists Arlo Guthrie, Donovan, The Dubliners, Richard Thompson and Derroll Adams or funk legends Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley and Pee Wee Ellis. Not to forget great gospel and blues artists like Ry Cooder, The Holmes Brothers, Blind Boys Of Alabama, Charles Brown, Bobby King and Terry Evans.
