Paulie Boy Blues & The Yorkshire Puddings are very pleased to announce their return to the UK with a new fourteen-date Summer 2026 UK Tour.
The tour is presented by Gateway Promotions and commences on Thursday 6th August 2026 with a return to Brighton and Hove. This is then followed with dates in Luton, London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Nottingham. The run concludes on Friday 4th September 2026 with a performance at The Nene Valley Rock Festival in Lincolnshire.
This precedes Paulie Boy Blues being personally invited to perform with guitar extraordinaire Philip Sayce at his headline date in the beautiful surroundings of Oran Mor in Glasgow, Scotland in May 2026. They performed Albert King’s “Put The Shoe On The Other Foot”, a track that Sayce said that he loved doing when playing alongside Jeff Healey.
He followed this with a set at the Brockley Max Festival Opening Night in London where footage of the blistering performance was captured by the multi-talented photographer and videographer Chris Griffiths of Riff Photos.

After a breakthrough year with striking performances across America, Canada, and England, Paulie Boy Blues has solidified his name as one of the most exciting names in the modern blues rock scene.
Fans are in for a treat as new cities have been added to the tour itinerary, making it an even more highly anticipated event. Following the success of his last UK tour, Paulie will be bringing his electrifying mix of gritty blues and rock ‘n’ roll to a wider audience across the country.
This time, Paulie is joined by Harry Stalker on bass (from local Newcastle band Oddisy) and Adam Crookes on drums (from Newcastle band Critch).
At just 26 years old, Paulie Boy Blues is already making waves as one of the most exciting young names in modern blues and rock and roll. Hailing from Montgomery County, Maryland, this charismatic guitarist, and singer has been lighting up stages across the East Coast of the United States, recently breaking into the Canadian scene, and now setting his sights once again on the UK.
Paulie fronts the psychedelic blues and rock outfit Back From The Dead, a U.S.-based band that has been captivating audiences with their fiery performances. His previous UK tour saw the group travel from the south of England all the way to Scotland in August 2025, earning strong word-of-mouth buzz and leaving crowds “buzzing,” as he puts it.
For this new run of shows, Paulie will perform with a British backing band, creating what he calls “a very unique and marketable arrangement.” He laughs as he adds, “As far as I know, the last time there was an American 26-year-old touring through the UK with two Brits, his name was Jimi Hendrix!”
Paulie’s love for the blues runs deep, and his achievements already speak volumes. “One of my greatest accomplishments was sharing the stage with Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram back in 2023,” he recalls. That performance further cemented his drive to push boundaries within the genre while keeping the roots of the music alive.
Being able to call the likes of Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram and Kenny Wayne Shepherd friends, Paulie Boy Blues is telling his story, and the people are listening. Blues Matters Magazine in the UK recently reported on the tour stating, “This young artist is proof that the spirit of rock and roll is still alive, loud, and unshakably global.”
Recent singles ‘Early One Morning’ and ‘Chasing The Dragon’ showcase Paulie’s range — the latter being an original composition that captures his psychedelic edge while staying true to the blues tradition. Both tracks are available now on all major streaming platforms.
As he prepares for his third headline UK tour, Paulie Boy Blues is ready to deliver raw, passionate performances that bridge the gap between the classic and the contemporary.
Don’t miss your chance to see Paulie Boy Blues & The Yorkshire Puddings live. This is set to be one of the most exciting tours of Summer 2026.
