Roy is a guitarist, singer and songwriter who has been performing since the mid ‘70s. He plays solo or in bands; covers blues, rock and folk and has a jolly good time doing it! Roy has now released 15 full length CD’s to date, two of which were recorded for the Blues Matters record label to which he was signed. For the record (no pun intended) Roy’s first recorded output was in 1980 with the NWoBHM band Warrior. This was a 10 inch vinyl single that seemed a good idea at the time but wouldn’t fit into any jukeboxes so had a limited appeal. He stems from what became known as the Thames Delta blues scene during the Seventies. Scores of fine blues outfits spilled out from the area at that time – Mickey Jupp’s Legend, Dr Feelgood, The Kursaal Flyers, Eddie and the Hot Rods etc.

So now Roy plays solo or with the band in any areas where blues and British folk tradition meet, increasingly playing established, highly rated acoustic gigs and festivals in an attempt to prove his worth in a genre where songs demand a meaningful lyric. Roy is a songwriter of some standing but live performance is where he really excels – go see him now!

The Roy Mette Band - The Silver Bullet Kid

Bitrate: 320K/s
Time: 45:39
Size: 104.5 MB
Styles: Electric blues
Year: 2007
Art: Front

[3:06] 1. Dog Catcher
[4:17] 2. Slow Thunder
[5:02] 3. Outta Mind
[4:04] 4. Ain't No Doors
[3:12] 5. Hand Clappin

[2:33] 7. Mil Town Blues
[5:08] 8. Cold As Hell
[4:24] 9. Queen Bee
[3:50] 10. Holdin Out

Having played acoustic music for over 30 years Roy is reluctant to pidgeonhole himself in any one style. In recent years he has become known for a blues based repetoire but there is more to him.

Roy has always been a songwriter and out of that has come many styles that are not immediately evident. Early influences included the folk revivalists of the 1960’s that made the pop music of the day relatively easy to copy on a solo instrument. To this day he enjoys words and the writing of stories in song, he is still something of a protest singer on the not so quiet.
