One of the most exciting and talked about acts to emerge in the past year, their sound seems to be an amalgamation of the best elements of music from every era creating a new vibe which is wholely their own. Imagine dusting off your old vinyl and blasting it out in your new spaceship.

The band played at many of the UK's most prestigious festivals including Larmer Tree, Trowbridge, Greenbelt, The Boardmasters, Goldcoast Ocean Fest, Maker Sunshine Fest, Jersey Longboard Festival and Beach Breaks to name but a few.

The band’s world music vibe makes them accessible to a wide range of audiences and they have been praised by critics for seamlessly crossing over and blending Rock, Blues, Folk, Latin, Bluegrass and Reggae, keeping audiences engaged to the very end. This versatility has enabled Wille and the Bandits to share stages with artists as diverse as blues roots legends; Eric Bibb and Donavon Frankenreiter, Folk superstars; The Levellers and Seth Lakeman and Reggae boppers; Finaly Quaye and The Beautiful Girls.

Wille is regarded by many as one of the finest lap steel players in the country and when accompanied by his gravelly voice the concoction is irresistible.

"Front man Will Edwards’ whiskey soaked drawl and inspired slide guitar licks hark back to the 1930's Mississippi, while drummer Andy Naumann and ex Cantaloop bassist Kieran Doherty drag the Bandits brilliantly unique sound into the 21st century" (GO2 Magazine)

The band dedicates their lives to their music which shows in their performances and in the lifestyle that they lead, clocking up thousands of miles to get their sound heard.
