Subject: STOP PRESS! Date added to KENT DUCHAINE's U.K tour - Monday Nov. 1st - back room of the R.M.A. Tavern!
*The Official Barking Spider News Letter*
I’m delighted to report that KENT DUCHAINE, one of the Bullfrog’s all time
avourite bluesmen, is on tour in the U.K from his home in Minnesota, and has
UST added a last minute gig to his U.K tour.
e will be playing a VERY intimate gig in the back room of The R.M.A. Tavern,
romwell Rd., Eastney. Tickets are just £7, and with a capacity of 65 this gig
ILL sell out, so get your tickets NOW!
Rather than repeat Kent’s biography (you can find it on www.kentduchaine.com)
ere’s a review of Kent’s very first gig at the Bullfrog Blues Club on South
arade Pier, Southsea, way back in 2001. He’s been a welcome guest back ever
ince…
"This review is for all those people who missed a feast of a gig at Bullfrog
lues Club. Kent Duchaine took to the stage and made it his own. He is truly a
andering minstrel as he constantly travels around the world playing and
romoting the Blues. Armed only with 'Leadbessie', his beaten up national
uitar, which is held together with gaffer tape and shows signs of rusting from
he sweat of it's owner, he belted out classic Robert Johnson songs such as
Sweet Home Chicago', plus others by such writers as Willie Dixon, Richard Jones
nd some of his own compositions. His slide guitar playing is at times
ggressive to the point where you are concerned for the wellbeing of
Leadbessie' but he can show a tenderness when playing songs such as 'I'll Be
rue to You' and one of my personal favourites, 'St. James Infirmary'. He is a
light man but his music, charisma and obsessive love of the Blues fills the
tage with ease. Kent is not just and excellent singer/guitarist he is also a
toryteller and his explanations as to how some of the all time classic Blues
ongs came to be written offers an insight into the social history of Black
merica. The Blues is not all doom and gloom and Kent has a sharp sense of
umour and ability to laugh at himself, especially when talking about his
x-wives, much to the amusement of the audience. Sadly his set had to finish due
o the ludicrous licensing laws. Were it not for this restriction I have no
oubt Kent would have played all night and the audience would have boogied along
ith him. The applause he received from the audience was one of the best I have
itnessed at the Club. Having attended hundreds of gigs over too many years I
ave no hesitation in saying this was one of the best nights of music I have
istened to".
