Topic: Not sure if he has been mentioned before...

This is a guy i first saw on live with Jools Holland on New Year's Eve. Apologies if he has been mentioned before sad. He is a guy called Seasick Steve (don't let the name put you off) and he plays real straight forward Delta blues on a 3 stringed guitar big_smile

Here is the clip form the Jool Holland show. I particularly like the way his simple yet great music was able to entertain and impress all the other people at the show.

Re: Not sure if he has been mentioned before...

Could we pass the hat to get ol' Seasick a whole set of strings. Who knows what he's capable of. I had to look real close at that dude, he looks like a plumber I've worked with for years.
