the Lee Hedley Band are a fun, well travelled, well cured outfit with plenty of crunch and bite and a relentless rhythm attack......"
"What makes Lee so enjoyable is his dedication; his celebration and approach, blending good audience rapport...and primary kick ass classic rock entertainment..!"
"the collectively honed skills of the Lee Hedley Band is obviously the result of a fluent familiarity with each technical vernacular, cultivated and cured over time, fat harp tones, tight rythmns, classic covers given a hard hard facial and delivered with an upbeat and spirited enthusiasm!"
Mick Kenny, Anna Livia Radio, Dublin.

US Agent Greg Jordan has just signed Lee Hedley and the band for 3 years to bring them to the USA!!!!!!!!! Original material is being written at the moment for a new album solely to launch whilst touring the states.
Newtownards born Lee Hedley also joined forces with Irelands fastest growing label Urban Angel Music (www.urbanangelmusic.com). Lee signed with the label in October 2007 and has released his first major single Everywhere I Go onto i-tunes and over 50 on-line stores worldwide. Lee who has shared the stage with such artists as The Corrs and Westlife; Irish Soul Band The Commitments and Dublin's very own Blues Harmonica maestro Don Baker, whom Bono from U2 has been quoted as being "...the best blues harmonica player in the world".
Lee has enjoyed numerous TV appearances and has been one of the elite few of Irish rock blues artists to record a live session on the Paul Jones Blues Show for BBC Radio 2. Lee's 'Blues for Concern' album in 2000 caught the attention of Old Grey Whistle Test presenter "Whispering" Bob Harris, who immediately handed it to Ex- Mannfred Man frontman Paul Jones, who in turn set up the session with Lee's band (formerly called Beale Street Boogie Band).
But even with all of the above, the highlight for the Lee Hedley Band was most definitely the 3 successful Irish Tours with Ex-Muddy Waters Chicago Blues guitarist, John Primer and the Chicago blues supreme Phil Guy, who sadly passed away in August 2008.

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...
When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...
Love can drive... in a simple way... everything
We are connected
Vibejays & Friends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Estimada/o Lee Hedley Band,
cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...
Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...
El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...
No major craic. Lookin forward to BUSKFEST and hoping for a real big summer day - the bigger the sun the bigger the atmosphere. Past few years have been great.
Sometimes I do get round to reading blogs...usually late at night when I should be in bed trying to sleep.
Yep..I'm not too bad...had a wonderful night out last Saturday at The Retro Bar in Portrush. Everyone needs a good night out. I will be at your gig on 12th June..catch you all then.
Flippin heck Lee you guys are going to be exhausted after playing the gigs in Ballymena and Newcastle on the same day. I'd love to get along cause there's nothing I enjoy better than a great night out...travel tends to be an issue though. I'll be at The Diamond's BBQ on the 5th July..your mates Last Known Addiction are playing. I've never heard them play live but I have met Stephen and Ryan. Should be a good day's craic!!
