Hollow Bone

Yanu Zsigo's warm and powerful voice breathes life to lyrics while he pounds out rhythms on his stomping bass drum and syncopated high hat, before introducing rhythm guitar, bass or more percussion. Add to this powerhouse, Damien Cheung's driving riffs and soaring lead guitar, which crackle with energy and what have you got?

A rousing blend of fresh and exciting versions of traditional Blues plus brilliant original material guaranteed to raise your spirits and make you feel glad you made it!

"Better than anything at Glastonbury Festival" - Daily Telegraph reviewer.

Comments from the Swanage Blues Festival

"Frighteningly good storming after-midnight session."

November 2004: Yanu Zsigo gave his last pound coin to a busker playing electric blues guitar in the open air in front of the Market Cross on the high street in Glastonbury. The pair began to jam right there in the street in the autumn sun.

Damien laid down the Blues riffs, Yanu simply improvised the lyrics. Hollow Bone was born in that moment of inspiration and has been gigging regularly ever since.

Hollow Bone play fresh and exciting Blues based around original songs combined with radical reworking of Blues standards. The band approach each gig as a ‘blank canvass’ and launch into the performance without the safety net of a set list, relying instead on their considerable ability to improvise: making music on the spot.

When Yanu sings you believe him thanks to a warm and powerful Blues Rock voice that simply brings a lyric to life. He somehow combines lead vocals with playing solid rhythm guitar and simultaneously pounding out a stomping beat on a bass drum.

Damien’s driving riffs and soaring lead guitar just crackle with blues energy and power.
