I sae Nine Below Zero at Neecastle Students Union in 1982 I think it must have been.
Different..!
A couple of lesser known artists:
Geoff Achison
His live album "Souldiggin' in the UK" is amazing. His studio stuff, not so much.
Manu Lanvin
French blues rock - top showman but I don't if or how often he tours in the UK
@haemish ^^^ re nine below zero at newcastle uni; sounds like that's when/where I first saw them.
Good to see the old boys are still going strong - less drive, more nuance; I like very much.
Returning to the thread.....Charlie Musselwhite playing Stone Fox Chase , aka the whistle test theme; also played by Mark Feltham of nine below.
Ah,the good old days - still at home with parents, tues evening in pub, back at 10.45 and parents going to bed, BBC2 at 11pm for the whistle test - richard williams then whisperin' bob; happy days but then we had kershaw and the others.
Slim Harpo (another dead black blues man) playing Hip Shake
More upto date version by the Shack Shakers - great live if only they would stop gobbing on each other; last saw them at the Brudenell in Leeds - fantastic!
A real blast from the past - Papa John Creach on violin playing St Louis Blues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5y42-d7flk
That takes me to the other great St - St James' Infirmary Blues; so many to choose from but I suggest Louis Armstrong, Tom Jones, Rhiannon Giddens.
A bit more from Papa John Creach - with Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady and A.N Other who, I thought, may be Leo Kottke; wrong but don't know who he is.
Any suggestions?
Just to say, Papa John is dead - as are most of the musos i've referred to; hmmm.......
