Connolly Hayes

Connolly Hayes combines blues, rock and soul, building a growing reputation in the music scene. The band formed after Jess Hayes and Frankie Connolly performed at the Isle of Wight Festival in 2023, then joined forces with Richard Clarke (guitar), Beau Barnard (bass), Joe Mac (keyboards) and Andy Wilder (drums). Their influences include The Bros. Landreth, Tedeschi Trucks Band and Rufus & Chaka Khan.

Their debut album Remember Me, released in June 2024, was immediately named Pick of the Month by the Independent Blues Broadcasters Association. Since then they have appeared at various British festivals.

In 2025 the band made the move to Europe. After their performance at De Amer in March 2025 they gained 95 new fans in one go. Now they return for a new show at Cultureel Café De Amer in Amen.
