A live review of Pat Fulgoni over at SXSW in Austin, Texas in Billboard Magazine declared that “Fulgoni could sing a pearl from its oyster”. They ain’t wrong and UK magazine Blues Matters adds "completely blown away because he can sing, I mean really sing, ridiculously well”

In his time Pat has sung across many genres and worked with award winning producers as well as touring the world as a live artist. As far as the blues goes, he cut his teeth over in the Czech Republic with various greats from that scene, performing on breakfast TV and playing the Blues Alive Festival, Sumperk. Returning to that festival in 2021 with new UK blues band Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience one Czech reviewer wrote it was "like meetng up with an old friend” as the outfit blazed their way onto the national TV highlights.

Pat's new blues journey with the Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience started when a local food bank fundraiser in his home town of Huddersfield demanded a set having seen his performances on YouTube, Fulgoni obliged and cobbled together a local line up just before Covid kicked in. The gig was awesome and led him wanting more especially after the grim months of lockdown.

Pat’sprevious release "Dark Side of the Blues (Pat Fulgoni Live In Prague)’ was very well received, Chicago Blues Guide saying “a collection of impeccably reworked blues and rock covers.” And now after 3 years of gigging at shows including festivals like the Great British Rhythm & Blues festival, Buxton Blues, Blues Alive (Czech), Tenby Blues Festival, Beatherder, Solfest, Leeds Unity, venues and clubs including Pat’s own beloved Huddersfield Blues Club and Bluesbury festival efforts, the Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience band is clearly a sought after live booking, and the time is very right for an album release!

Sit back and listen to the rocked out and funked up blues opus that is the eponymous "Pat Fulgoni Blues Experience” album! From the originals like “Drifter" and “Keep The Blues Alive” through to the covers like “Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven” and “Midnight Train” its a soulful, funky, psychedelic take on the blues rounded off by the epic original 12 bar “Stickin The Knife In Blues” with its deep, dark but conscious lyrics.

Fantastic musicianship is on display here with young guitar slinger Jacob Beckwith, the seriously tight bass and drums combo of Rory Wells and Zebedee Sylvester and the lush piano skills of Sam Bolt underpinning Pat’s unique soulful blues vocal. This album is honest, vibey and full of soulful dynamics, 2 of these cuts are just piano and vocals and the album is mixed by Crosscut Saw’s Alex Eden who also contributes some amazing harmonica.
