Welcome to 2013! It's seem the world didn't end and there's an
exiting year to come ahead! Lot's to happen, including a tour of
Germany with the Walker Broad Band, another tour of France, lot's
of gigs in good ol Blighty, radio appearances, and more good stuff.

**Radio Play**

We've been doing quite well on the radio play front with the new
Walker Broad CD, over Christmas sandy was interviewed by Shep
Woolley on ExpressFM 93.7 and he played our track "Pointless",
Ashywn Smith featured the song "Play Me Some Blues" on his first
show of the year (http://www.digitalblues.co.uk/).

There's more to come, Sandy was interviewed about her work with
the Human Library by Terry Powell for ExpressFM and they also
talked about Walker Broad, the interview will aired tomorrow
(weds) between 700pm and 8.00pm and he will play "Bordering On
Bedlam". http://www.expressfm.com/

And yet more! Walker Broad are really excited to invited to appear
on Martin Clarkes Blues show on Radio Wey this Friday. The show
airs between 9pm and 11pm, we'll be playing live (really live not
recorded live :-)) and talking about our music.

**Sunday Lunchtime Blues Jam At The Auckland**

You never know what the first even of the year will be like, but
this one was a cracker. we were full to cpacity with many
variations of blues and some quite blues played. I think everyone
got to play, but one or two player singers didn't get to sing as
well as play.

Too many people to thanks individualy but a great start to the
year.

Next one is Sunday 3rd February, get there early if you want to
play. We try to fit everyone in but if it's as busy the first one,
you'll need to be in 1:30 to be in with a chance (but it wopuld be
better to get there at 12:00!)

Auckland Arms, Netley Road, Southsea.
