Bullfrog Blues Club, South Parade Pier, Southsea, Thursday 4th March: The welcome return of the fantastic U.S. bluesman LITTLE TOBY WALKER... As well as being a raconteur, translator, interpreter and composer, Little Toby Walker is one of the finest Piedmont and Delta influenced guitar players alive. His alternating bass style echoes that of Blind Boy Fuller and Mississippi John Hurt while his lead (which is played simultaneously) blazes trails hinted at by B.B. King, Albert King and Freddie King. Toby's played with Eugene Powell, R.L. Burnside, James "Son" Thomas and Jack Owens, and played on sessions for John Hammond, James Cotton, Johnny Winter, John Sebastian, Taj Mahal and Chris Smither John Hammond claimed that Toby is "a real killer with fantastic technique. He just knocks me out." There is no greater tribute than Eugene Powell's accolade, "Now, you play them blues real good. I want you to carry them on for me..." Check out his website, www.littletobywalker.com Doors open at 8 p.m, tickets available on the door.
