The Thomas Heppell Band
From the vibrant South Coast of the UK to stages across the nation, join Thomas Heppell as he crafts the next chapter in UK blues. With a style encapsulating the heart of Blues, the energy of Rock & Roll, and the sophistication of Jazz (sometimes if you're lucky), Thomas can command a solo stage or drive the rhythm in his dynamic three-piece ensemble.
His musical journey has seen him share the limelight with established acts such as Dan Patlansky, Chicken Shack, Catfish, Big Boy Bloater, Connor Selby, Brave Rival and The Cinelli Brothers. In 2022, he graced stages alongside household names like Anton du Beke of Strictly Come Dancing fame, Robin Bibi, and Mike Mayfield. He’s also left his mark at illustrious venues and events such as The Tuesday Night Club Ronnie Scotts, Lincoln Jazz Cafe, Broadstairs Blues Bash, Swanage Blues Festival, and Weyfest.
His EP, 'Be My Home', not only received airwaves love from Jazz FM and Blues Radio UK but also secured him nominations at the UK Blues Awards 2023. With nods for Best Young, Emerging, and Acoustic Blues Artist, it's evident Thomas is a force to be reckoned with in British Blues.

Now, in the hush of the UK’s Blues and Americana clubs it's the quality of his songwriting that's capturing people's imagination. Within just days of launching his debut album crowdfunding campaign, those lucky enough to have already discovered him came out in force. They knew something that the rest of the UK Blues scene will soon realise – that Greg Brice is a proper talent. Th
