Based on Jersey in the Channel Islands, close to the coast of France. The Dirty Aces have been cooking up quite a storm with their filthy and tough harmonica and guitar led blues. Winning new fans at every gig and converting many new music lovers to blues fandom, the Dirty Aces always have the joint dancing by the end of the night. Whether playing Jazz festivals, blues bars or house parties the Dirty Aces convey to people the power and spirit of unrestrained low down blues. PRAISE FOR THE DIRTY ACES:
I dig you and what you do!!! Great harp and guitar!!!
You cats play like you mean it!!
Sugar Blue (Grammy Award Winner)
superb no-nonsense, gritty R&B. Giles Robson has a great and urgent voice with an appealing cry at the end of certain words. Filip Kozlowski lays down choppy and insistent guitar riffs, bringing to mind The Hoax at their brilliant best.
Blues Matters (UK's award winning, most read blues magazine)
The Dirty Aces are so filthy that they probably curdle the milk of the cows in their native Jersey....cuts like Dollar and a Quarter suggest these boys have aces up their sleeves.
Classic Rock Magazine
Hurrah for The Dirty Aces!
Tom Robinson, BBC6 Music
...high energy....dirty, rough and ready Chicago blues...the band have the style nailed...
this is a band well worth catching...
Blueprint Magazine
If you like blues, rock and plenty of originality, look no further than these aces......
Raw and dirty sounds, ace delivery.... Robson happens to sing like a blues hero of mine -- the late, great Rory Gallagher.
Alan Candy - Luton Today
....harmonica virtuoso.....one of the finest harmonica players around...
Blueprint magazine
Chicago blues, and it's played with a passion and maturity
which is way beyond their age.
Roots Time, Belgium
Definitely ones to watch!
Phil Jackson, Blues In The South
Blistering gob iron....scorching guitar...a band that have found a solid groove. Time to get off the island and set mainland towns alight.
Fatea Magazine
Love it! Big rockin harp sound, tight band underneath--I'd be dancing on the bar." Richard Hunter
Leading composer and performer of music for the harmonica
and author of the world famous book "Jazz Harp"
blues played with controlled passion and perfection. The Dirty Aces show that they can play, they show they can write and they sure show they can feel the blues
