" Vinyl Paradise is a Maltese blues/blues-rock power-trio made up of Ben Bailey (guitar/vocals), Patrick Camilleri (drums) and Antoine Tonna (bass). Their collective love for the blues and knowledge of its conventions and techniques have resulted in the band delivering their own masterful take on the genre to audiences right across Malta, Canada, and the UK.

The three have had years of musical focus to develop their unique style, first meeting in the band The Creepers - another blues band focused on replicating the sound of ‘vintage American blues’ - and later forming the trio Vinyl Paradise in January 2017.

The band spent the next few years honing their skillset and playing countless festivals, clubs, and concerts to an ever-growing audience. In February 2023, the band wrote and recorded a five song live EP called “Live at Winehouse”, which they toured around London and Kent a few months later, with stops at venues including the Troubadour, the St Moritz Club Soho, and the Bourne Music Club.

In November 2024 they released their debut album “Vinyl Paradise”, written entirely by the band and recorded at David Vella’s outstanding Temple Studios, and toured throughout 2025 to promote it, playing festivals and venues such as Earth Garden and Farsons Beerfest locally, the Troubadour and Bourne Music Club in the UK, Gabby’s Patio in Toronto, and the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

The band has just finished recording their 2nd full-length studio album, which is scheduled for release in late 2026, and is booked for another run of international shows in the lead-up to its release. "

" Vinyl Paradise takes inspiration from the likes of the “3 Kings”, Cream, Gary Clark Jr, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Robben Ford, Jeff Beck, T-Bone Walker, Johnny Winter, J.J. Cale, amongst others. Their style blends blues, funk, rock n’ roll, and soul, with deep grooves on the bass and drums laying the foundation for deft guitar-work and 60s-soul-inspired vocals. These elements are immediately recognisable in their original work, as well as any covers in their set, which are always reworked to satisfy these criteria. "
