Welcome to September's Blues News Letter. September is going to be great month blues wise, off to an excellent start at the Auckland Arms on Sunday, a good mix of band solo and duo gigs follow with some festival appearances thrown in too! ***Blues On the Quay*** Poole is holding it's first Blues On The Quay festival this month (16th / 17th )and I'm delighted to be appearing three times, once in solo mode and twice as a duo with Sandy Walker joining me on piano and vocals. In contrast to our normal Walker Broad duo where Sandy takes the bulk of the vocals, we will sharing the microphone and concentrating on a more solidly blues based set, featuring some original numbers from my recent CDs, a couple of Walker Broad originals and a few standards, rehearsals have been a lot of fun and we are really looking forward to the festival.
