Michael Messer - Vocals, slide and lap steel guitar

"Saturday’s gig was a solo appearance by Michael. This is some of the best slide guitar playing you’ll ever see on any stage in the world. Michael Messer is as good as it gets. End of.”
 - West Coast Radio

"Michael Messer is rare amongst Brit bluesniks, in that he possesses a real feel for the music and yet gives it his own personal stamp"
 - fRoots

"It's Messer's vocals which are the real revelation; heartfelt and pained, full of trial and struggle, just like the best blues"
 - Q magazine

"To say that Messer is a slide guitarist is like describing Mother Theresa as a nun! One of the best slide guitarists Britain has ever produced"
 - Time Out magazine

"Slide merlin Michael Messer has of course produced some spellbinding blues'n'beats albums in recent years, and in his solo set he shows a driven and fluid guitar style that exactly suits his characterful voice. He really is an expert player"
 - Blues Matters!

 "His slide work was both deft and stunning.  The audience sat in rapt silence hanging on to every chord whilst classics such as Rollin' & Tumblin and Walkin' Blues followed by one of the best versions I have heard of Diving Duck since Taj Mahal. The set closed with a driving rendition of Write Me a Few Short Lines. The audience were on their feet roaring their approval".
