Colne Delta Blues and Americana presents
ALICE ARMSTRONG
Independent, multi award-winning R&B artist from the UK, reshaping nostalgic rhythm & blues grooves through a contemporary lens. Armstrong delivers heart-breaking ballads and toe-tapping ear-worms with a breathtaking vocal talent, sharp wit and electric stage presence, all backed by a world-class band.
In 2025 alone, Armstrong’s second studio EP, Fury & Euphoria, gained over 100K streams in it’s first month, she performed live on BBC Radio 2 at Maida Vale Studios and was interviewed on air by Cerys Matthews for the second time. Embraced and supported by the British Blues community, Armstrong and her band secured first place at the European Blues Challenge after competing against acts from 22 other countries, and was voted Contemporary Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards for the second year running.
VICTORIA & CHRIS
With special guest Giles King (Harmonica)
Step into the deep roots of American Blues tradition as Victoria & Chris bring a spellbinding acoustic set to Colne Delta. Featuring original songs penned by Chris for their forthcoming acoustic album, this performance weaves together the raw soul of Delta Blues with the haunting lilt of Appalachian mountain music.
With Victoria’s rich, expressive vocals, Chris’s masterful guitar work, and the unmistakable grit of Giles King’s harmonica, expect a set full of atmosphere, storytelling, and timeless acoustic grooves.
A perfect opener for a night steeped in heritage, heart, and handcrafted songs.
