..."As for his guitar playing, he swings so much. Nobody really swings as well as Wizz" - Steve Tilston.
Inspired by legendary blues and gospel guitarist, Rev. Gary Davis, Simon Prager has been involved in the British blues scene since the ‘60s. He has worked alongside such greats as JoAnn Kelly and Sonny Terry. Simon also performed as part of the ‘City Ramblers Revival’ skiffle group with Hylda Sims, Kev ‘doc’ Stenson until Hylda's sad passing two years ago. Simon continues to gig with Kev Stenson.
