Simon McBride

Observers of the blues-rock scene are calling Simon McBride the natural heir to Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore. Like these icons he hails from Ireland and from Moore's hometown, Belfast. He is an astoundingly good guitarist, a fine singer and a prolific songwriter.

After leaving Sweet Savage in 1998, He joined fellow Irishman Andrew Strong, who had made his name in the 1991 cult film The Commitments and went on to a successful singing career.
He spent six years touring with Strong before leaving to pursue the idea of a solo career.
