SUNJAY is a name to be conjured with for anyone looking for outrageously impressive guitar skills, and now he has a new album to promote.

And the good news is, the sure-fingered virtuoso has a date for Saturday May 18 at Heightington Village Hall, near Bewdley

A spokesman said: “The yet unnamed album, the new album from Sunjay, is his first to include original material in four years. Recorded near his hometown, Stourbridge in the West Midlands, the album features long time producer and multi instrumentalist Eddy Morton, drummer Darren Barnes, bassist Ian Jennings (Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck), Katriona Gilmore, and special guest Dan Walsh.

“The new record showcases Sunjay’s trademark blues with a modern-day twist - tinged with elements of folk and country.”

The spokesman added: “Sunjay is pretty much the antithesis of your typical denim clad dishevelled folk and blues musician. From his perfectly groomed hair to his spotlessly shining winkle picker boots he walks onto the stage every inch the “city slicker”.

“When Sunjay starts to play the guitar and sing, you are transported to a world where blues and country music meld seamlessly amidst humid mangrove swamps and red neck barbecues. Sunjay is, without doubt, the real deal.

“From those early childhood steps Sunjay has in every sense, grown up in public, having performed regularly to ever increasing audiences from the age of seven. Now, still only in his mid-twenties, Sunjay has become a master guitarist, who has crafted his show to perfection. He also has n encyclopaedic knowledge of his music, and a wicked sense of humour. “

An evening with Sunjay is an evening of exquisite blues, country and folk music combined with a master class in guitar playing interspersed with hilarious anecdotes, and even the occasional Buddy Holly song.

But if he asks you to meet him at midnight down at the crossroads... think twice.
