Hello Everyone
Thank you all who came to the Roffen
last week, unfortunately we were clobbered a bit by the local football,
however Wolfpack delivered one of the best 'hard-nosed' blues
sets available on the UK circuit today. Unrelenting performance and
energy! Here
is MC John Cordingley's report:
"What a great night at the Roffen, it was good to see
Tim again who has not lost that wonderful energy and bounce jumping around the
stage as if he was a 20 year old, he played some great harp and guitar work and
of course his singing was very good as well. Some of the audience commented
that the band was tighter than last time and the performance was even better.
They introduced some new numbers from their new album which we all enjoyed and
it gave Joel the lead guitarist the chance to show off his great playing on his
Fender Strat and some very nice slide work on his Hofner. Rob on bass was there
all the time with those nice bluesy uncomplicated riffs which I particularly
like in my band and Paul on drums kept the beat going in fine fashion. I
particularly enjoyed two of the numbers, 'Full Time Lover' which had some nice
dynamics and 'Robert Johnson?s Shoes' which had that nice RJ delta sound, for
those that could not make it you missed a good evening. Please keep coming
along to keep the club alive it?s very good value at ?10. For future nights we
have in Jerimiah Marques and the Blue Aces in March, John Idan in April, 24
Pesos in May and in June the return of the Producers. Look forward to seeing
you all again on 27th March John."
Thank you John and, as ever, to the
lovely Sandra and Terry for doing their bit.
So, this month the long awaited return
of Jerimiah Marques and the Blue Aces. Led by a legendary
bluesman of note and accompanied by the absolute cream of UK musicians in this
genre, the club is in for a real treat! Googling the name will bring up a
wealth of material for preview enjoyment, however, we all know that the best
way to enjoy music is live at the Bottleneck Blues Club with
it's unrivalled ambience and intimate atmosphere - a joy to audience and artist
alike!
This will be busy, so please book
asap to the return email address. Tickets ?10, doors open at 7.30pm, band on
stage circa 8.45pm, good food, reasonably priced, available at the venue.
Further information and location map available at www.bottleneckblues.com
I normally only take bookings
following the early month mail-out preceding the gig, however, am making an
exception with the the following, being the exciting double-bill of Geoff
Achison and Toby Walker occurring on the 30th
October 2012. We are lucky to have secured this from rare
availability over a short period of time when the two UK tours coincide.
Tickets will be ?15 each and I am accepting bookings from now on for
seats/tables on a first-come, first-served basis. I am expecting this to
sell-out and more so please book early to avoid disappointment.
In the meantime I look forward to
seeing you on Tuesday 27th March for the wonderful Jerimiah
Marques and the Blue Aces.
Many thanks.
