Returning once again to Marigolds after several fantastic gigs in recent years Split Whiskers, fronted by Gilby J. Fletcher on vocals & blues harp with Johnny 'Magic Boy' Wright on vocals & acoustic, resonator & electric guitars backed by Matt Willshaw on keys, Alex Machell on bass and Tony Hill on drums.

Split Whiskers have their roots firmly planted in Chicago blues, crossing into different genres with more than a hint of the Delta. The band’s fame is spreading, and they are becoming one of the busiest bands at blues venues around the UK and are in particular in great demand on the Festival circuit. As with all their previous gigs at Marigolds their superb musicianship, along with their infectious humour on stage, promises a great evening’s entertainment.

As their website says, paraphrasing the lyrics from, ‘Let the good times roll’, ‘Go tell everybody Split Whiskers are back in town, they got a dollar and a quarter and they're ready to clown!

Paraphrasing Blues Matters magazine, they are a must see band.
