Blues News From Portsmouth October 2015 - Midlands Tour CD reviews and more....


Welcome to the mailout for October!

Just added a bunch of emails from the paper mailing list form so welcome to
the list and sorry for the delay!

** CD Review on Blues In The North West **

After the great surge of initial radio play, reviews are starting to come
in, I know of two pending that I won't tempt fate about by mentioning
before they are published, but the first past the post is a nice review by
Norman Darwen on Blues in The North West.

Really ought to get some gigs up that way. Suggestions venues and contacts
welcome!

** Mini Tour of The Midlands. **

In a fortnights time I'll ne heading north, not all the way up to the
northwest, but as far as Nottingham to play two solo gigs first on Friday
23rd for the Nottingham Blues Society at the Trent Navigation. Then on
Saturday 24th I'll be performing at the Needwood Folk & Blues Club, at
Barton under Needwood. (near Burton) Thanks to Bob Chaffey for putting me
in touch with the second of those.

I say "solo" but in fact Sandy Walker will be joining me for the second set
of each of these gigs on keys, adding another dimension to teh sound and
allowing the songs that she features on on the new CD to be performed as
recorded.

Playing out of area is always a bit more challenging on the publicity side,
so if you have any contacts in the Nottingham / Burton area please feel
free to forward this info on to them! All help greatly appreciated.
