Guitarist

18-year-old Muireann Bradley became a folk-blues guitar sensation after appearing on Later With Jools Holland - after only two prior gigs. The buzz is more than justified, however, by her authentic and soulful performances of country blues classics by Blind Blake, Mississippi John Hurt and other masters of the style. Here we join her to hear her play some of her favourite pre-war style acoustics and explain her approach to folk-blues fingerpicking.
