Niels Rasmussen - Guitar

Niels Rasmussen is a devotee of the early ragtime/blues players such as Blind Blake, Big Bill Broonzy and Rev. Gary Davies. This shows in his percussive finger-style playing. Influences are many and varied, from the late great Rory Gallagher to the rapid-fire staccato of John Mclaughlin and pretty much everything in between. Watching Rory on stage when he was just 16 years old blew his mind and showed how playing the Blues could be cool. He’s played across the North West for many years in a variety of jazz, blues and funk outfits.
