CAFE
Saturday, 23rd
August 2003
3 Man Jam!
Vocalist Oliver Carpenter, guitarist Neil Worrall and top piano player Mike Nock from the legendary Surftones playing bluesy, souly, jazzy ... but most of all acoustically!
More photos and details of the band
Johnny Ace, Hoot Owl Robin and friend
12 string guitar Johnny and harp-man Robin
Allan Jones
Mean
vocals, spine chilling slide guitar and foot rockin' raggy blues from the Delta,
on down to the Smoky Mountains 'where the eagle builds his nest'
Simon Riley
Dai Thomas
The spirit of Charlie Patton hovers around his
performance and he is the 'Daddy of the Blues'. Plus frightening guitar blues
from Virginia on to the East Texas piney woods.
Well look-a-here, look-a-here....
Lazy River
Low-down
blues which is fine an' mellow. Blues to make you sigh an' blues to make you
high - yessir!
Judy and Blues Dukes
A
fine tribute to the blues of Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, et al. Also in-your-face
blues with attitude by guitar man Brendan a la Robert Johnson, Bo Carter, Robert
Wilkins , an' there is more.
Hellhound Rex and Hoot Owl Robin
Steely
Delta slide, smokin' harp an' a krazy kazoo with hip-shakin' washboard. These
blues will make a preacher lay his bible down and a freight train jump the
tracks 'cos the Blues will make you happy too.
Ain't that the truth?
OK, so here are some photos of the mob who soaked up all these good sounds!
