Re: Marcus Bonfanti

Thanks Paul. Incidently that review of mine appeared in Blues Matters (twice!?). I certainly agree with all the praise for Marcus. He deserves it all. He's a nice guy and got a great approach aswell as very good songs. Do see him when you can with his band, I've seen him several times and he can mix it up when required, and always wins over new fans! smile

I think a bump is in order here.

Saw Marcus open up for Philip Sayce last night at the Robin 2.

Was very impressed indeed, and I agree with Greenose's description of him and his style/approach to his music.

A very talented and likeable bloke....very much looking forward to seeing him again with the full band behind him.

The future is safe.  cool

Re: Marcus Bonfanti

As Wooders mentioned in his Sayce review, Marcus's first album Hard Times is now out of print, hence he did not have copies with him. Although it's out of print it's still on stock at Amazon. I'd recommend those that enjoyed him to get a copy at:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/HARD-TIMES-Marc … amp;sr=8-1

It includes Now I'm Gone, which was aired on the Sayce tour:

When they're gone, they're gone.  sad

I'll be listening Roger. I like Marcus's approach, both his music and his thoughts about music. I'd urge other to give him a listen.
