Re: Ron Sayer Jr.

That night in the Watermark Cafe was great. You guys don't know the trouble Ron and the band went through to get there. After a mammoth trek, setting up in record time and virtually no soundcheck they played two fabulous sets. True performers getting their music out to the people and enjoying every minute I would say.
Thanks Eldo for starting this thread. I've been a bit lazy lately and am browsing in the forum whilst stuck out in China working again.
I can't wait to hear the new album, Ron and look forward to seeing you again very soon.

Hi Tripsy
Yeah, the Scarborough gig journey was a little 'frenetic' in the execution. The trailer broke, which meant we had to beg, steal and borrow gear (thanks to Mark Horsley) and stuff whatever we could in the back of my car, leaving the trailer and gear at the mercy of the elements for several days in Lincoln :-/.....but with stiff upper lips we completed our (7 hour in total) journey to Scarborough and had a really great gig, plus I had a chance to sample Panama's lovely Gibson 339 on a few tunes mmmmm :-)

Thanks to Tripsy and Eldo, it is support like this that keeps all of us musicians going :-D

Re: Ron Sayer Jr.

sounding really great there Ron, thanks for posting it. I don't have it yet but it's on the top of my list to obtain in short order. Who is the lady singing on the one song? Based on my limited understanding of what constitutes good blues/blues rock/blues soul whatever you want to call it, this should sell like hotcakes.

Re: Ron Sayer Jr.

Great if you can make it Eldo! :-) Mrs Sayer is planning on attending and she will no doubt sing on a number or two if she does. We recorded the Etta James track My Mother In Law before Etta passed away, Etta was one of Charlotte's favourite singers so although it was a tribute to her it wasn't meant to be a tribute to her memory :-(

Charlotte has her own website www.charlottejoyce.co.uk by the way, with links to her voice on youtube and she has just finished an album of her favourite covers.

Great gig at the Bullingdon for us Ron Sayer virgins - Ron was airing tracks from the excellent Better Side album, which has received rave reviews - great to see Ron joining Virgil on stage for the customary jam......

How big a list do you want? You'll already have contact at Darlington and Sedgefield RnB clubs from touring with Oli last year. I can bend some ears at Guisborough, Ripley, Redcar & Saltburn. Know of some decent pub/hotel venues at Eaglescliffe (www.bluesatthebay.co.uk) and Reeth (www.buckhotel.com).

That's off the top of my head, I can get a good list together and email you. Any sort of places you want to avoid, like ones where the sawdust on the floor was last night furniture....
