Welcome to the mailout for October! Just added a bunch of emails from the paper mailing list form so welcome to the list and sorry for the delay! ** CD Review on Blues In The North West ** After the great surge of initial radio play, reviews are starting to come in, I know of two pending that I won't tempt fate about by mentioning before they are published, but the first past the post is a nice review by Norman Darwen on Blues in The North West. http://www.bluesinthenorthwest.com/index.php/2015/10/04/review-andy-broad-every-penny-of-the-deal/ Really ought to get some gigs up that way. Suggestions venues and contacts welcome! ** Mini Tour of The Midlands. ** In a fortnights time I'll ne heading north, not all the way up to the northwest, but as far as Nottingham to play two solo gigs first on Friday 23rd for the Nottingham Blues Society at the Trent Navigation. Then on Saturday 24th I'll be performing at the Needwood Folk & Blues Club, at Barton under Needwood. (near Burton) Thanks to Bob Chaffey for putting me in touch with the second of those. I say "solo" but in fact Sandy Walker will be joining me for the second set of each of these gigs on keys, adding another dimension to teh sound and allowing the songs that she features on on the new CD to be performed as recorded. Playing out of area is always a bit more challenging on the publicity side, so if you have any contacts in the Nottingham / Burton area please feel free to forward this info on to them! All help greatly appreciated. ** Gigs ** Friday 16th October The Bakers Arms, Winchester - 8:30pm start. The Walker Broad Band - Blues folk and jazz influenced originals and a few well chosen standards. This is the first visit by the band to this venue, would be great to see you there! Saturday 17th October The Station Arms, Southminster. Andy Broad - Solo blues. It's rare to get two gigs a year at this venue so I'm really looking forward to this second one! Sunday 18th October - 7:30pm start Hobbitts Restaurant & Bar Andy Broad - solo Friday 23rd October Nottingham Blues Society The Trent Navigation, Meadow Lane, Nottingham Andy Broad + special guest Sandy Walker. Saturday 24th October Needwood Folk & Blues Club, Needwood under Barton. http://needwoodlivemusic.club/ Andy Broad + special guest Sandy Walker. Sunday November 1st - 12:30pm The Auckland Jam Gets better every month, come down early and make you self know if you want to play. › Look forward to seeing you at a gig soon
