About this event

“Really loving that vocal” –  Craig Charles, BBC6 Radio
 

“A thing of wonder” –  Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2

EUROPEAN BLUES ARTIST 2025 + UKBF CONTEMPORARY ARTIST OF THE YEAR 2025
 

Alice Armstrong is a multi-award nominated singer-songwriter and entertainer from Surrey, UK, known for her impressive vocal range, dynamic songwriting and unmatched stage presence. Her voice and songs vary widely in emotional tone and are a common addition to Joe Bonamassa’s personal Spotify playlists

An Alice Armstrong show promises a soulful, genre-busting performance packed with world-class musicianship and wry British repartee. Though a darling of the UK Blues community, her personal and provocative content is an exhilarating fusion of soul, blues, funk, rock and jazz, and is served with an enigmatic performance reminiscent of the likes of B.B. King, Koko Taylor, Beth Hart, Freddie King, Janis Joplin and Tina Turner (with a touch of Maria Callas), leaving the awed audience laughing, crying and tapping their feet in equal measure.

In April 2025, Alice and her team won the European Blues Challenge in Croatia following on from her win at the UK Blues Challenge in 2024. Alice was also voted Contemporary Artist of the Year 2025 at the UK Blues Awards for the second year in succession. She has toured across the UK and Europe, selling out shows and headlining Festivals, been a guest on BBC Radio 2 with Cerys Matthews, performed on the iconic Beale St. in Memphis and is a regular addition to Joe Bonamassa’s personal Spotify playlists.

Her second EP ‘Live at Area 88‘ came out on 14th June 2024 to critical acclaim and reached the IBBA’s top 10 most played albums list. Her eagerly awaited third album was released on 1st July 2025.
