​Liam Ward

Liam Ward and Malcolm Thorne present a modern acoustic take on the classic harp-and-guitar blues duo.

Rooted in tradition but driven by original songwriting, their music blends expressive harmonica, intricate guitar work and carefully crafted harmonies.

Their debut duo EP 'You Are My Medicine' showcases their shared songwriting voice - lyrical, melodic and steeped in the blues tradition while sounding unmistakably contemporary.

Liam is recognised internationally as one of the leading harmonica players of his generation, building a worldwide reputation through his recordings, tours and collaborations. Malcolm’s guitar playing is both intricate and understated - rich in detail, rhythmically assured and always in service of the song - reflecting a deep understanding of the blues lineage.

Together they bring warmth, wit and musical integrity to the stage, delivering acoustic blues that is authentic, melodic and refreshingly human.
