Will plays both diatonic and chromatic harmonicas and creates sounds not usually heard on this little instrument in styles varying from bluegrass, folk, jazz and Arabic to blues, rock, pop and funk.

Will recorded on the Hillsborough Single which reached Christmas number 1 in 2012.

Will is to release his debut solo album ”A Cut Above” in September with guests Kris Drever, Tim Edey, Martin Simpson, Damien O’Kane…



Will plays with his wife Nicky in the English Folk duo Haddo, The Will Pound Trio and until recently performed with banjo player extraordinaire Dan Walsh in the critically acclaimed duo Walsh & Pound.
