Dana Gillespie

A five-time winner of Blues Connection and Blueprint Magazine’s “Top British Female Blues Vocalist” award, blues singer Dana Gillespie has now entered their Hall of Fame. Appearing with the London Blues Band featuring Dino Baptiste on piano & vocals, Dana’s music is full of style, character and most of all, heart. Quintessential Blues at its very best. In the 1960s she was a folk-pop troubadour signed to Decca Records, rubbing shoulders with Dylan and the Beatles. In the 1970s she collaborated with the likes of Rick Wakeman and David Bowie, with Bowie writing her hit song ‘Andy Warhol’, and producing her 1973 album ‘Weren’t Born a Man’. Through the 1980s, while signed to Ace Records, she began to establish herself as the queen of the blues that she is today, writing and recording prolifically.
