The Cody brothers sure know how to rock. What a combination that was!!

Featured Track – North Mississippi Allstars – Shimmy

I like my music raw and stirring. I discovered this band a few years back featuring the dynamic Cody Brothers. They produce a brand of blues boogie that is straight out of the North Mississippi Hill County Blues of RL Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. They are excellent musicians and great to see live.

Here’s a few photos I took with them and Ian Siegal at Burton Agnes Festival.

It’s been a busy musical time with lots of good gigs. There I was right at the front!

Stiff Little Fingers did a glorious gig at the Welly in Hull this week. Back to their original line-up and searingly powerful. We all flew the flag. The best Punk band in the world.
After the gig I was fortunate enough to meet them all and have a chat in the dressing room though my ears were ringing so much it was hard to hear what they said. They were a really friendly bunch and signed all my albums!! Great guys!! I’ll put some photos up as soon as I’ve sorted them!!

Last night was Rich and Lou’s Loudhailer in Cottingham – another great night with loads of talented people. The Backroom is a brilliant venue! I look forward to a lot more.
