Hey you guys, I'm so glad you all enjoyed yourselves. Sounds like Oli, Fred and Simon played another blinder!
I've been listening to Open Road at work this evening and agree that the live experience does have more energy and excitement. Oli is very charismatic and his singing gets better and better.
Nice to hear that Oli and Graham were their usual charming selves too.
Icon, that rap song is called No Diggity which was done by a group called BLACKstreet. Here it is from the Scarborough gig

Wish I'd been there, can't wait for the next gig

Thanks for filling us in on the song title Tripsy. Not sure I'll be searching too hard to listen to the original though

You could have heard a pin drop when Oli asked the Robin crowd "Does anybody here like Gangsta Rap?" It was one of those Shooting Stars tumbleweed moments you know what I mean?
Didn't take folks long to get groovin' to Oli's version though. The vid is really good - looks a nice intimate venue there in sunny Scarborough.

I don't know anyone here is planning to see Derek Trucks in Manchester or Sheffield, but the Oli Brown Band has been chose as the support act 

Hi Folks,
I have three bits of good news about Oli to tell you.

Did you all know that Oli and his dad Graham had a meeting with Joe before the Sheffield gig. A little bird tells me that Joe saw Oli on You Tube and wanted to meet him!

Joe commented on Twitter  'met with Oli Brown and his dad.. great kid.. real talent and should have a great career..'

Oli commented  'Had a great meeting with Joe Bonamassa. A real gent and such a nice guy. Went to the concert in Sheffield. Awesome !

This makes me very happy!

Something else that made me very happy was that Rob Bancroft (aka Robvarmint) picked Oli's album Open Road as a classic album...to be, on his Rock 'n' Blues Circus programme on 10radio last sunday.
He played four tracks from the album and is hoping to arrange an interview with Oli in the near future.

Just this morning I received my copy of Blues Matters and there was a very good review of Oli's gig at the Norwich Arts Centre. The article started with the words  'The Blues has got sexy' and went on to tell how the audience was full of screaming young girls! Went on to say 'This was a terrific show from start to finish; Oli's playing and singing know no boundaries and finished with  'If anyone can break the barriers to get younger audiences into the halls for Blues, Oli Brown is the man to do it!

Way to go Oli.....

Tripsy

I have asked Oli to bring some CDs
