The UK Blues Awards 2025 UK Band of The Year nominee Connolly Hayes is to perform a set at Arlington Arts Centre in Newbury on Friday, May 16.

Connolly Hayes already has a strong reputation for live performances as they blend of soulful voices with guitar wizardry from both sides of the stage and the grooviest rhythm section going.

Connolly Hayes comprises Jess Hayes, Frankie Connolly, Beau Barnard, Joe Mac and Andy Wilder – five long-time friends playing a carefully curated blend of blues/rock/soul nationwide and further.

The band have released their debut album Remember which was instantly chosen as ‘Pick of the Month’ by the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association in the UK.
