Champion of Mandolin, Slide Guitar, & God's Grace

Happy Birthday to Bryn Haworth

“If we are to have God-rock, then let it be Bryn Haworth. . . you owe yourself a listen.” (John Ingham, SOUNDS magazine).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to singer-songwriter and champion of mandolin and slide guitar, Bryn Haworth.

He may not be a household name, but deep-followers of guitar virtuosos, British rock, and Christian music know him well. In addition to his prolific solo catalogue, his guitar-slinging career has intersected with Joan Armatrading, Chris de Burgh, Jackie Lomax, Ian Matthews, Gerry Rafferty, and Cliff Richard. As a songwriter he’s been covered by Mary Black, Sandy Denny, and Lulu. He was also part of the “freakbeat” psychedelic-soul band Fleur de Lys (coming into the group as Chris Andrews was heading out), which was the British house and touring band for Isaac Hayes, Barney Kessel, Sharon Tandy, and many others.

Check out one of Bryn’s signature works, “The Gap.”

Meanwhile, HB BH and thank you for your years of graceful music.
