The veteran guitarist says: “I’m delighted BIll is able to make it, and to be able to welcome him to my show for a change.”

Eric Clapton recently said of Lee: “He’s the greatest guitarist in the world – he’s the ultimate virtuoso. His skill is extraordinary, his ear is extraordinary and he’s gifted on just about every level. When he gets into his stride, I can’t even keep up with him.”

Joe Bonamassa commented: “You don’t become Albert Lee by sheer hype alone – he’s a master of his craft. A real treasure.”
