New Generation Blues UK Tour Starts Tomorrow (Page 2 of 3)

Believe me people - this tour is something special - I've seen two fantastic shows so far, and I do have tickets for a third.
Get yours before they go. 

Here's some shots I took - sorry - I don't do video.

Ian...your photos are superb! The Robin is a great venue and I wish I could have been there. In fact I could very happily spend the whole of May attending every gig on this tour if it were possible.
The Tunnels gig was fantastic. Virgil, Gabe and Tom played a great set.They played Scuttle Buttin'. What Am I To Do and the John Mayer song Out Of My Mind which was wonderful. Our friend Scoot was so happy to have Virgil play his JBLP on Steppin' Out/Rice Pudding and Had To Cry Today. In fact he's taking it to the Cardiff gig for another work out on Sunday   
For the first time, Tom and Gabe played with Joanne and what an amazing performance they gave. Joanne was brilliant even tho she was a little travel weary, she's such a jet setter!

Oli and Simon were joined by Gaz Rackham on bass. He plays on the new album Heads I Win Tails You Lose and what an amazing player he is. I realised that I'd seen him before, playing with Rob Tognoni a while back. Once again Oli displayed what a great player, singer and charismatic performer he is. He really makes the audience feel involved and I have to say that the crowd were brilliant. There was no chatter going on during the quieter moments and Stone Cold (Roxanne) was very entertaining with people joining in and Oli ended up singing An-dy instead of Roxanne. It was very funny! Watch this....(not filmed by me)

It was so good to meet up with Maggie and Stella, The Varmints (Rob and Matt) and of course Scoot who was kind enough to put me and Rose up for the night.

This tour is a huge success so far and I want to say congratulations to all the bands. It's so nice to see such camaraderie between them all.

Keep going guys and gal! Wish I could be in Cardiff on Sunday

What a great great night! Three fantastic acts - has to have been the best value ticket around for ages!
Really good to have a mini forum gathering right in front of the stage, with not only Roger, but also Maggie, Lydia, Wooders, CurrymanDavid, Pete the Cabby, and of course Martin (mbcl). And a few more faces well known to us appeared out of the shadows at the end    .

Many thanks to Pete for the ride back to our hotel in Joe's cab ( we walked 100 yards down the road before realising you'd dropped us practically right outside the hotel!    )

Finally my time comes tomorrow.  This was due to be the first show on 6th May, but due to Jo's commitments in the USA, in particularly the BMA awards, it got moved to second last! Really looking forward to seeing them all. !

You're right, Pete....this Oli fan really loved that. Great fun indeed
