The London-born singer amd harmonica player is now offering a reward for anyone who has information leading to the recovery of the items, which include two guitars, a double bess, two speakers and more.

His appeal said: ‘It’s truly devastating, these are not the easiest of things to conceal or sell, I need as many of you to share this around and hopefully the power of the internet can help us try recover or at least find out who has done this.

‘The police have been notified but your help will be more efficient…

‘This is a livelihood that has been taken and will be a huge financial hit.’
