At 75 after a long career and serious illness, ( when he had to relearn playing guitar) this guy can still cut it ; wicked blues, well worth seeing. Great venue, not too big, brilliant staff. More top bands should play here.

A fabulous evening spent listening to world class musicians. Walter's guitar playing was stunning and he was really engaging with the the crowd, sharing some stories from his younger days. Loved the guest musicians appearing on stage too. Would highly recommend seeing this band play, you won't regret it.

What a show, massive talent for a small but good venue. All the performers were superb in their own right. Walter Trout at 74yrs was still rocking and showing the youngsters how it should be done.

Walter Trout, The 1865, Southampton - 8th May 2025
Walter Trout is an amazing performer considering his age and what his body has been through in years gone by. His voice was crackling and still very strong, though he did have to rest at points in the performance. The partisan audience were still in awe of Walter and the rest of the bands performance Keep rocking Walter
