Welcome to the Official Mark Cole website

"Hello and thanks for visiting my official website.  Keep an eye on the Calendar below for the latest dates."

A powerful, passionate vocalist, Mark also plays a pretty mean harp, honest uncluttered slide and rhythm guitar,  and loves experimenting musically with other instruments and found objects. His many talents keep him in demand at studio sessions covering all types of roots music. Both in the studio and on stage he has played with or supported a great many artistes including Pinetop Perkins, Willie King, Kent DuChaine, Alison Moyet, Dr. Feelgood, Chris Jagger  (Mick's brother), Roy Wood, Ian Dench (EMF), Steve Gibbons, Mike D'Abo, Phil Beer (Rolling Stones session man), the Gutter Brothers, Richard Thompson, Australian blues maestro Mojo Webb, guitar legend Alvin Lee (at the Glastonbury Festival in 1994) and Chicago Blues legend Eddie C. Campbell. Over the years he has received critical acclaim for his vocal performance and songwriting which has been described as having "a quality and professionalism that sets it apart from so many" with an "assured melodic delivery and ability to constantly impress" (Rock 'n' Reel magazine). He writes songs across many styles both for the bands that he plays in and other performers.

Mark is currently writing songs for a solo project and can be seen 'test driving' them at various open mic nights around Gloucestershire, including the one he hosts every other Wednesday night at Cross Keys Inn in Gloucester. He's also out regularly playing with his blues duo/band Sons of the Delta and occasional gigs with his blues and soul band Maxwell Street.
