Popa Chubby at The !00 Club London
After 5 years since he last performed live in the UK, Popa Chubby finally returned, opening at the 100 Club, Oxford Street, London. What a great gig it was too. For far too long, NY Blues fans have been starved from seeing the maestro perform, unless they made the trip into Europe. However, I’m pleased to say that the wait has well been worth it! The night…

Music From 2016
Looking back at the music from 2016, it’s fair to say, there’s been an awful lot of great music published this year despite the horrendous loss of so many musicians. Who can forget the shock of David Bowies passing from cancer? And that album, Black Star. I have to admit, I found it a little deep for my simple understanding, well, compared to his earlier work. He will be so missed.
I’ve treated…

Mark Pontin Group Textures
I’ve seen the Mark Pontin Group live, and I can tell you they’re very good. If you like your blues rock that’s quite rocky then you’ll love the Mark Pontin Group Textures album. Mark is a confident guitar player and it shows on this album. Leading a band that is made up of bass player, Alun Walters and drummer, Dafydd Davies the album kicks off with the wonderful Outside…

Michael Messer
There seems to be an abundance of blues albums released in 2016 and none better than Michael Messer’s Mitra. I have this habit of listening to an album and then going through the tracks to pick out my favourite. Well, I can tell you with my hand on heart, this album blew me away from the very first note right through until the very end! No kidding.
Not since the days of the Beatles…

Bonnie Raitt
Bonnie Raitt Dig In Deep is the 20th and latest album by this lady of the blues. Twelve tracks of great songs, five of which are written by Ms Raitts herself. There’s plenty of slide guitar on this album too, and I love me some slide. My favourite track on here is ‘The Ones We Couldn’t Be’ which is one of the self penned songs. It’s almost just her and a piano and you need to be sure…

I'm Back
I’m Back
Hey everybody, how ya’ll doing? I’m back. I’ve been away for too long, you know how it is, one minute everything is hunky dory, the next, you’re up in the air and looking towards the skies. That’s life I suppose, but I didn’t mean to take a break. Anyway, I’m back, and I’ve also had the blog completely overhauled in my absence.
I hope you like the new layout, and I hope you like the new stories…

Beth Hart Union Chapel Islington
Beth Hart Union Chapel Islington
On Monday 14th, December, 2015 I was very fortunate in that I had a ticket to see Beth Hart at The Union Chapel, Islington, London. I was there early and yet the queue stretched around the block and almost back on to itself. Needless to say, the gig was sold out.
What a gig it was too, and what a lovely venue too. She was nervous when she came on, but there was no need. She has so much talent,…

Blind Pig Records Closes Its Doors
One of the largest Blues labels “Blind Pig” closes it’s doors. Message from Edward Chmelewski and Jerry Del Giudice, Co-Founders of Blind Pig Records: Blind Pig Records got its start in a very small basement blues club called the Blind Pig Café in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1977 and grew to become, as Billboard magazine put it, “one of the pre-eminent specialty labels in the world.” Now, after a very…

Can White People Sing The Blues? Can white people sing the blues? I've seen this question arise a few times just lately in various online discussion groups and the odd blues music magazine.

Warren Haynes Ashes and Dust
Warren Haynes Ashes and Dust
Warren Haynes Ashes and Dust is a tremendous new album from the Gov’t Mule artist. If you are expecting his usual high octane blues rock music, you will be disappointed. This is an entire album of Americana backed up by the experienced talents of the Railroad Earth band. Most of the songs on here are written by Warren Haynes, but, there is a great cover of Fleetwood Mac’s‘Gold Dust Woman’ which…

Rory Gallagher Rory Gallagher, two decades have passed since he went home. Even after twenty years, it's difficult to find the words to explain the gaping hole his passing has left, not only to the world of music, but to each fan on a personal level.
