On the corner of Portobello Market and Elgin Road, you’ll find Adam Blake busking Blues of every kind. The works of Blind Willie Johnson and Lightnin’ Hopkins are revived through Adam’s excellent voice and intricate guitar moves, transforming this trendy part of West London into some kind of Mississippi delta. He’s also collaborated with amazing peers like Natacha Atlas, Errol Linton, and Cornershop, enhancing their live sets & album recordings with a brimful of fret styles, on bass & sitar. On Facebook, Adam is a sensitive, thoughtful character that’s modest about his career history, and dazzling ability. But in our studio on A World in london, there was no place to hide his true & bountiful talents. Listen in for some fingerpickin’ good, and reach out to grab Adam’s ‘Portobello Blues’ album.
