Mike Whellans
Winner - "Best Act" (Mettman Blues Week 2008, Germany). This is unashamedly good rockin' 12-bar blues on 6- and 12-string guitars (precision picking at eye-watering speed), mouth-harps (Mike packs them with great music and blows it at you), and a wee tottie drum-kit. Hear his show-stopping vocal percussion; a veritable tour de force. And he sings, plays drums, writes songs, plus seems to have boundless energy - that's what it's all about: energy! The most dynamic one-man blues band around the Forth delta. There's one guy on-stage, but close your eyes ... it's Mike Whellans Band!
