“I remember there was a video of Gary Moore and he played Red House on this Fiesta Red Strat, and I thought it was just the most incredible thing”: Is Toby Lee Britain’s next blues-rock superstar?

Toby Lee stands in front of a blue velvet curtain and wears a Breton stripe T-shirt and plays a Gibson Firebird. .

Back in 2015, on hearing that blues legend BB King was unwell, a 10-year-old Toby Lee recorded a video called Get Well Soon Mr King, playing a wailing blues solo on his Les Paul. The video went viral, attracting millions of views in only a short time.

After BB’s death, his daughters were so touched by Toby’s tribute that they flew him to Memphis, where he played in BB King’s club on the city’s famous Beale Street.
