Al O'Kane blends swampy Avalonian blues into the sound of Celtic resistance rock n roll. A mix of fitting covers and some of his own creations - Al aims to please and embrace his audiences. This is “West Country Gumbo from the Somerset Delta!” “His music is a cry for action nestled into a fiery acoustic blend” Davey Ray Moor (CousteauX) Having recently completed a European tour before the pandemic, Al had also just won the Shrewsbury Folk Festival open mic competition and performed twice at the 2022 festival - selling out of CDs! 2020-2021 saw four self-produced releases from Al, which are available on all music providers, along with his self-titled debut album. Whether it’s a private function, wedding or pub / club gig - Al can perform solo or with his incredible power trio. “Al is Set for BIG things” BBC Bristol.

Al has been booked numerous times for the monthly Frome Independent monthly market as he always plays a fantastic set. A great mix of covers and original songs that never fails to please and entertain - highly recommended!

5 out of 5

Al O’Kane is a rare breed of guitarist - one equally accomplished solo with his acoustic, in the guise of a bluesy singer-songwriter, or kicking out the jams with his band, tearing through a set of barn-burning Rock’n’Roll! He ploughs a deep furrow of integrity and graft, and having booked him numerous times, I can attest he never fails to deliver.
