Acclaimed slide guitarist and singer songwriter, Bryn Haworth came to London from Lancashire in the late sixties. He lived on the streets till joining “Les Fleur de Lys” a motown/soul band which became house band for Atlantic Records in England. They were also houseband for the Speakeasy club where bands would come after their gigs. Amongst them The Beatles, Eric Clapton came down, and one night Jimi Hendrix asked Bryn if he could jam with him as he liked one of Bryn’s guitar solos. Bryn left the band in ’69 and travelled to California; from there he toured extensively in the US in American bands and was a founder member of Wolfgang, a band put together and managed by the legendary Bill Graham, appearing on bills with Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Taj Mahal and others. In 1973 he returned to England and was signed to Island Records where he made his first LP, “Let The Days Go By”.

Bryn has recorded as a session guitar player with Chris de Burgh, Joan Armatrading, Cliff Richard and Gerry Rafferty amongst others, but you need to come to a concert to hear that story. See full list of Bryn’s sessions since 1968.

Bryn recorded 3 further albums for Island Records and A&M.  During this period he made numerous radio and TV appearances, including John Peel’s legendary Radio One Show and appearances on BBC’s Old Grey Whistle Test, as well as touring extensively in England and Europe supporting such artists as Traffic, Bad Company, Gallagher & Lyle and Fairport Convention.

He has recorded 14 of his own Gospel/County Rock & Blues albums including his latest album Ready Or Not   and he performs concerts in a wide variety of venues including concert halls, churches and prisons across the UK.    Contact Bryn for booking information.

In 1989 whilst setting up worship teams for the first Vineyard church in the UK, Bryn was called to prison ministry, and has spent the last 35 years taking the Gospel and his music into prisons across the UK. He has recorded 3 albums specifically for people in prison – Inside Out, Time Out and Peace & Understanding, through the Music in Ministry Trust, and provide music equipment for prison chapels worship services.

Through this involvement in prisons, Bryn has seen first hand the revolving door of prison and homelessness: 70% of prisoners released to homelessness go on to reoffend. Having experienced homelessness himself as an 18 year old on the streets of London, Bryn has made a video based on his own experience to raise awareness of the problem. Homelessness can happen to anyone. All I Need Is A Home
