Buddy Whittington: Buddy Whittington has been described by his ex-boss of 15 years as possibly the greatest Bluesbreaker of them all. Considering that the boss is John Mayall and the all includes Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor, this is not an accolade to be taken lightly.
Touring the US supporting ZZ Top for their 1995 Antenna' World Tour, and playing alongside Eric Clapton and Mick Taylor in 2003 for John's 70th Birthday Concert at The King's Dock Arena in Liverpool stand out as definite high points of Buddy's tenure as a Bluesbreaker.
Now signed to UK label Manhaton Records, Buddy is set to release his second solo album Six String Svengali'.
Following the critical success of his self-titled solo CD in 2007, Buddy returned to Hurricane Sound in Garland, Texas earlier this year, working with with engineer / producer / drummer Mike Gage and longtime Texas based bassist Wayne Six to record eleven exciting new original tunes.

That's one massive claim, so BritEvents' Lucy Middleton catches up with the four piece band to find out more about their epic sound.
