The musical journey of Gypsy Bill Williams began when he heard for the first time the recordings of Son-House ,charlie patton Big Bill Broonzy miss John Jackson.Thats when The. blues bug hit him.like most of his mentors he is a self-taught guitarist and harp player he also plays foot cymbal bass drum in unison with his national steel guitar and gibson ,his vocal style ia a perfect complement to his guitar work .His immersion into the blues led him to playing on the streets all over europe and the uk. iDel (Double bass. is also self taught.Del started with a tea chest ,this instrument is very similar to the one used by the turn of the century jug bands made for her by the gypsy familly the Inns brothers Adam and Isac. Del has performed with Bill for many years.. in adition to there street performances,they have been invited to perform at major music festivals throughout the uk and Europe.Audiences really appreciate there enthusiasm and commitment to the blues tradition .and have recieved great revues. they have shared the stage with the likes ofJOHN HAMMOND.JOHN JACKSON LOUISIANNA RED,BOB KIRKPATRICK,ERIC BIB ,HARMONICA SHAH, TONYMCPHEE, KENT DUCHAINE BIG JOE LOUIS AND THE BOSSTALKERS,STEVE JAMES. plus many other great blues performers.
