The Jeff Beck Experience (Tribute)

11 Sept 2026 - 11 Sept 2026

Tobias Thompson Guitars Ive been playing guitar for over 35 years, but my journey started with the violin in the county orchestra. Everything changed the day I heard Comfortably NumbI walked out, bought my first Strat, then came Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop ... and I never looked back. I studied music in college, and seeing Pink Floyd live in 1990 cemented my decision to pursue music wholeheartedly. Since then, Ive taught guitar, recorded, and performed extensively, always pushing myself to grow as a musician. I play Fender, Peavey, and Music Man guitars, constantly seeking the perfect tone to bring my passion to life on stage. This is what I was meant to do, and I wouldnt have it any other way. Emma Kelsey Vocals Emma started her career studying ballet & modern and won a place at the prestigious Performing Arts College Doreen Bird for 3 yrs. Emma's worked ever since- initially as a dancer on Cruise Ships & contracts abroad, then became a Vocalist. Her versatility has enabled Emma to sing a variety of genres and styles, from performing as a soloist & as an Abba girl in Tributes to Abba & backing vocals for Tributes to Elvis & Pink Floyd in Theatres throughout the UK and Touring internationally. Emma's really enjoying the Jeff Beck experience - I can see why he was referred to as guitarist's guitarist, utterly brilliant !! Simon Wright Bass and Vocals Ive been a working live and session musician for over 40 years, with music always at the centre of my life. Along the way, I became a music producer and, for the past decade, an established voice artist, narrating books for Audible, ACX, and Podium Audio. Ive been a lifelong, avid fan of Jeff Becka love that's inspired much of my creative journey. Back in the early eighties, I played trumpet in brass bands, but things got serious, and my path evolved into something bigger. Playing anything with strings has been my main thing, and providing the bass in JBE is, without doubt, the most enjoyable aspect to date! Music and storytelling have shaped my life, and they continue to drive everything I do. Ben Topley Keyboards and vocals Ive been playing and producing music of all kinds for over 30 years, growing up on a steady diet of Pink Floyd and progressive rock that deeply influenced my style. While I play drums, guitar, and bass in The Jeff Beck Experience, I focus on keyboards. I studied Film and Performing Arts at college, which helped shape my creative approach. These days, I also teach Yoga and Tai Chi, blending movement and mindfulness into my life alongside music. I currently use a Roland Fantom, a vintage Korg CX3 (1978), and a Kawai 100f to craft our unique sound. Dan Guest Drums and Percussion Born in the 1980s in Wolverhampton, drummer Dan Guest grew up on an eclectic mixture of Elvis Presley, Roxy Music, Sting, The Cure, Classic Rock & 90's Grunge. A now Oxfordshire-based session drummer, percussionist, composer, producer and private tutor, Dan's rhythmic journey has led to him performing, touring and recording with a host of artists and bands, including: The Bay City Rollers, Alvin Stardust, Paolo Nutini, Empires Decline, Angie Brown, 35 Seconds, Hyper Hyper Girl Lover & Miranda Dickinson, as well as performing with many other original, function and tribute bands. Touring around the globe, Dan has provided solid foundations for a varied line-up of ensembles.

Wille and the Bandits have built a reputation as one of the most exciting and authentic live bands to emerge from the UK. Rooted in Cornwall, their music carries the spirit of a place that feels almost like the Deep South of the UK miles from cities, shaped by wild coastlines, Atlantic weather, and a culture where individuality is survival. It's a landscape that breeds grit, independence, and soul and you can hear that in every note they play. The group features some of the finest musicians in the South West, each bringing world-class skill and fearless creativity to the stage. Wille's slide guitar playing and voice his become the cornerstone of Wille and the Bandits sound, earning admiration from both fans and some of the biggest names in blues rock. Wille is a superb slide player, says Joe Bonamassa, while Beth Hart praises, What a voice and some of the best songwriting you will hear. His lap steel work carries fire, tenderness, and a sense of vast space the sound of a musician who plays from the chest, not the ego. Another defining element of their sound is Stevie Watts on Hammond organ voted UK Blues Instrumentalist of the Year whose rich, swirling tone evokes gospel halls, swampy blues bars, and the cinematic warmth of vintage rock records. Harry Mackaill provides a melodic and powerful anchor on bass, while Zach OLoughlin's dynamic drumming brings the music to life with both thunder and sensitivity. The band's music feels lived-in, human, and powerfully real. Critics and audiences have drawn comparisons to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, John Martyn and Ben Harper, while their rhythmic flow and improvisational fire echo the spirit of the John Butler Trio. On stage, they are electrifying named one of BBC Radio 1's Top Ten Must-See Bands at Glastonbury, invited to perform on the legendary Rockpalast, and selected to play the London Olympics, alongside tours with Deep Purple, Status Quo, Joe Bonamassa, Beth Hart, and Warren Haynes. The band now enters a new era with their forthcoming album Salt Roots (2026) a record that reaches deep into questions of identity, environmental responsibility, and belonging to the land. Recorded live in the room, the album captures the energy of musicians playing together, not programming the sweat, the risk, the electricity of real performance. Wille and the Bandits remain a hard-touring band at their core hundreds of shows across Europe, the USA, and Australia, winning crowds the old way: by showing up and leaving everything on stage. Whether delivering a roaring rock anthem or a hushed moment of intimacy, they connect with audiences not just through sound but through soul, honesty and presence.
