Lee HedleyLee Hedley (b. Newtownards, Co. Down) signed to Urban Angel Music [www.urbanangelmusic.com] in October 2007 and is now writing and recording an original blues-rock album with the Belfast label. (UAM recently tasted Irish chart success with Lila). Hedley’s new album - as yet untitled - will be toured in Ireland and the UK when released in 2008. The Lee Hedley Band play The King’s Head, Belfast every Friday in December 2007. Hedley has enjoyed numerous TV appearances and is one of the few unsigned blues artists to record a live session for the Paul Jones Blues Show on BBC Radio 2. In 2002, Hedley’s album Blues for Concern caught the attention of Old Grey Whistle Test presenter Bob Harris, who handed it to former Mannfred Mann frontman Paul Jones, who in turn set up the session with Lee’s band (formerly called Beale Street Boogie Band). The Lee Hedley Band has enjoyed two successful tours of Ireland with ex Muddy Waters Chicago blues guitarist John Primer and more recently, with famed Chicago bluesman Phil Guy.
