Topic: Otis Grand Turned UP

We had a nice surprise, Otis Grand came to see the band (Virgil had played with him when is was just 12). At the end of the first set he fancied a jam, should have some video up soon. He was brilliant, great night and stunning review followed:

Martin,

The link on your first post takes me to Andy Snipper's review of the EP, although he sounds just as excited as does on the show review you posted on FB. lol

Re: Otis Grand Turned UP

By amazing coinkydink I was in the public library in the City (of London) yesterday and found a book about the British Blues (I didn't go in there looking for music books, I was drawn to it big_smile ) and there is a whole chapter on Otis Grand. He sounds like a really cool guy. wink
