LIVE REVIEW ->
(Blues Matters Mag at Tenby Blues Festival 2024)
.“There then followed an entirely different style and set of full throttle funky electric blues led by Pat Fulgoni and his Blues Experience. With a full on five piece band Fulgoni’s powerful vocal delivery worked wonders as he pushed the boat out ...... with a confidence that highlighted this band’s importance in the growing blues world in the UK.”

PAST FORM ->
Over at SXSW in Texas, Billboard Magazine declared "Pat Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. Domino Club, Leeds says "Pat is the real deal. you won’t find a finer blues singer working today”“Sounds Brilliant doesn’t it” says Cerys Matthews BBC Blues Show (Sept 2023)
Indeed Pat has sung across many styles including major dance floor collaborations with the likes of festival headlining acts Camo & Krooked, Coldcut, Zion Train, Technimatic, London Elektricity, Murdock and a range of weird and wonderful sounds including with Jeff Buckley / Chris Cornell / Capt Beefheart guitarist Gary Lucas (NYC).
But it's truly magical when he sings the blues especially when backed by the stunning musicianship of this band featuring talented musicians including
Jacob Beckwith on guitar
Jaden Hart on bass
Sam Bolt on keys
Zebedee Sylvester on drums.

TV slot ->

In 2021 the "Dark Side of the Blues - Pat Fulgoni Live In Prague” album reached #2 in Roots Music Report's UK albums chart (approx 300 US radio stations) with Chicago Blues Guide maintaining its: “a collection of impeccably reworked blues and rock covers” and
Blues Matters Mag writing: "I was completely blown away because he can sing, I mean, really sing. Ridiculously well”
Expect soaring soulful vocals over vibey guitar and piano orientated blues along the lines of Ray Charles, BB King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix.
Sometimes balls out, sometimes deeply heart wrenching, Blues In Britain magazine are quite right to say its "a blues rock set to cherish... Pat and co just do them so well”
