JIM CONDIE at The Bullfrog at The R.M.A. Tavern, Eastney

 
Tolp bluesman  Jim Condie is based in Glasgow, Scotland, but  is making the 
trek down south  to the Bullfrog Blues Club at The  R.M.A. Tavern in Cromwell 
Rd., Eastney, Portsmouth, on Thursday 22nd  June. Entry is FREE!!!! 
Although he's been doing a lot of work his fine band Distant Cousins, Jim  
tends to play more gigs solo or in a duo with his son Leo, having been as far  
afield as Hong Kong and Canada- so maybe Southsea's not THAT far.....  
Jim's checkered musical career goes back more years than he cares to  
remember! He's worked as a session musician for the likes of Van  Morrison, Charlie 
Musselwhite, Ali Farka Toure, Amos Garrett, Tracy  Nelson, Lowell Fulson, the 
BBC, Louisiana Red, and many more and has been in  bands with members of Bad 
Company, Elton John Band, Nazareth, The Sensational  Alex Harvey Band and again 
many more. 
His best-known recording is the theme tune for BBC tv's Rab C Nesbitt,  
though he has featured on nearly 100 recordings. He is currently working on  
writing and recording his follow-up to the very successful 'Distant Cousins',  
available online from CDBaby.com or from Jim's own website. If you'd like to  find 
out more about Jim and his Distant Cousins, please check out the website

Remember, as they used to say about the Average White Band, nobody plays the  
Blues like the Scots!
