With two UK Blues Awards finals places under his belt, Chris Corcoran is considered one of Britain’s finest blues guitarists. Besides this, he is also one of the only fully instrumental British blues acts. The performances with his trio and with his six-piece band, which has been formed by several decades of experience in blues clubs in the UK, are both thrilling and fascinating. He has already appeared in several Guitar magazines and regularly gives masterclasses. In addition, his last three albums Blues Guitar Grooves (2017), Coolerator (2020) and Inferno (2021) were all awarded ‘Best Instrumental Album’ by the influential US website Blues Junction Productions.

The all instrumental Chris Corcoran Trio has been hailed by Blues in Britain as an antidote to the plethora of Blues Rock acts currently dominating the UK Blues Scene, and Guitarist Magazine called his latest CD ‘one of the most exciting, raw and inventive jazz-blues records you’ll hear all year’..

The Chris Corcoran Trio are an instrumental tour de force and unique to the UK Blues scene.   Hailed by Guitarist magazine as ‘endlessly inventive’ and ‘one of our favourite purveyors of vintage blues’ the band has performed at many of the UK’s noted blues venues and festivals, bringing their eclectic repertoire of covers and self-penned numbers delivered with energy and passion for authenticity of roots rhythm and blues. 

The trio is led by the prodigious guitarist, Chris Corcoran supported by stalwarts of the UK Blues Circuit, Matt Radford on Bass and Peter Greatorex on drums.
