AN internationally-acclaimed blues and rock guitarist is to perform in Keighley.

Ben Poole and his band are appearing at Studio 5 Live on Saturday, October 12, from 7.30pm.

The summer has seen Ben play at festivals across Europe.

"He is a worldwide touring artist constantly on the road," says a Studio 5 Live spokesperson.

"He's not to be missed!"

Just before the pandemic, Ben was named by the USA's Guitar World magazine as one of the best blues guitarists globally – alongside the likes of Eric Clapton, John Mayer and Buddy Guy.

The spokesperson adds: "Since beginning his career playing on the UK blues circuit aged 16, Ben has received critical acclaim and many awards. He has also graced the covers of some of the world's most respected publications."
