Blues News: West Side Blues @ The Fawcett, Reverbnation and more....


Hello,

A quick End Of Month update. 

* West Side Blues Band, Fawcett Inn Saturday 26th February*
 
The West Side Blues Band featuring Andy Broad on guitar vocals, Tim Nowell
on bass, Barry Leaney on drums and our new drummer Tim (who's surname I
haven't a clue of, sorry Tim!). The Fawcett has been running under new
management for a a few months now, with regular live music, we had a great
gig there with Burnt Ice last October, so I'm really looking forward to
doing this one with the West Side. To add an extra spin we'll have a guest
singer with us for a couple of numbers, Helen MacDougal from MacDiva.

* Reverbnation Photo Shoots and Recording *

Two new pages at reverbnation, one for Andy Broad featuring acoustic blues
and other solo stuff, and another for the Walker Broad project. This will
feature our original stuff. Walker Broad have been quite busy over the last
fortnight, with a photo shoot at Waverley Abbey near Farnham (thanks to my
nephew Gary Whiting for an excellent set of photos!) and recording sessions
at a secret location in Gosport... The photos and recording will gradually
emerge of the next few weeks and wil be featured on the aformentioned
reverbnation page.
