Marked for greatness from an early age by Blues behemoth Walter Trout, Mitch Laddie has been honing his virtuoso guitar playing on the big stage since being signed to Provogue Records at 17. He has released two albums to critical acclaim, and is known throughout the european scene as a volcanic guitar genius with musical subtleties and a maturity far beyond his years, cemented when follow-up album “Burning Bridges” was voted 'Best Blues Album of 2012' by Blues & Soul Magazine. Fans demanded a live album, and Mitch obliged. Recorded in 2013 at the Cluny in Newcastle at a sold out show, the band laid down defining versions of fan’s favourites including an atomic effort of signature tune ‘Mr Johnson’, alongside new material that showcases their precocious maturity. Mitch Laddie Band "Live In Concert" has since been adored by critics and blues alumni, cited as a near-perfect mix of blues heritage with pop-funk sensibilities.

Mitch is complemented by two extraordinary musicians in their own right: powerhouse drummer Matt Connor, and the effusively cool Rhian Wilkinson. With his rhythm section underpinned by a firm and genuine friendship, the trio are airlock-tight and are known for delving into ethereal, funky jams. Influenced by Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Johnson, Michael Jackson, Prince and The Police, Mitch Laddie Band blend a plethora of styles into a unique and modern take on soulful, guitar driven music. Mitch has it all: Talent, humility and a musical integrity that galvanises an international fan-base. Mitch Laddie Band's style is genre destroying. Many commentators have declared him the future for those who are yearning for an artist who delivers pure music: Find out why.
