Topic: Oli Brown tonight check out Virgil supporting

Virgil and Accelarators supporting Oli tonight. 3 piece band, just working it out together. Virgil is juts 17 and plays wonderful guitar. Watch his solos carefully they are flawless, he really is one to watch out for. Im no player but he just looks effortless when soloing. I sent an email to him, saying how impressed I was and there were reminders of a young Bonamassa, this the reply:

<<I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the show with Eric Sardinas, we all thought he was great and a really nice guy as well. The Joe Bonamassa comparison is one that we're hearing more and more, which is promising and Virgil likes as he's beeen his hero for years.>>

So dont stay in the bar next door while the support act is on:D

Re: Oli Brown tonight check out Virgil supporting

Martin  - you're right - Virgil is another one to watch out for.
I saw his band recently playing support to Aynsley Lister. A four piece band then, with his younger brother on drums, his father on bass and sharing vocals, and another guy playing rhythm.
He certainly wasn't lacking in confidence for a (then) 16 year old.

See you at the gig later Martin,

Ian
