I’m heading back for a bit of heavy Blues from the Wolf!!

This was the first Howlin’ Wolf album I ever heard. My mate Dick Brunning played it to me when I was about fourteen! Love it!!

Today’s Music To keep me SsSssaAAaaANNnnnNEEeeee in Isolation – Snooks Eaglin -Country Boy Down In New Orleans

I discovered this album way back in 1965 when I was getting into the Blues. There was something great about it. It wasn’t really Blues but I didn’t know quite what it was! I just knew I loved that laid-back feel.

Today’s Music to keep me SsSsSsaaAaAaNNnnnNeEEe in Isolation – Pete Green’s Fleetwood Mac – Mr Wonderful.

I used to go and see these guys in the clubs, like Toby Jug at Tolworth. They were always brilliant. Today I’ll play some good old blistering Blues.

Simon Cunliffe-Lister and Ben Beattie’s After Midnight Band at the Burton Agnes Jazz And Blues Festival.

Simon is the organiser of the event. I think that really he just puts on what bands he enjoys and gives himself an opportunity to play with them! He has a great time.

For the finale he took his place in Ben’s band wearing a shirt that Ben quipped should have had a soundcheck of its own.

He’s not a bad sax player!!

Thanks Simon – you’ve got good taste in music! Much appreciated.

The David Broad Band at the Burton Agness Jazz and Blues Festival.

A great trio that brought to life the 1930s Folk Blues of Robert Johnson, Blind Blake. Superb. I’ll certainly keep an eye open for them!

Dave Honeyboy Edwards – A Blues legend

Dave was with Robert Johnson on the night he was poisoned way back in 1937. It was an honour to see him perform even though he was in his nineties. I had a little chat with him and he told me exactly what had happened to Robert.
