Re: London Bluesfest 2015

For those of you who are going to see Tedeschi Trucks Band and possibly Jo Harman on Saturday evening, the doors and stage times on the Bluesfest website are:

TTB
Doors @ 18.30
On stage @ 20.00

Jo Harman
Doors @ 18.45
On stage @ 21.30

Why there's such a large gap between doors and Jo H appearing onstage I've no idea, but the onstage time may be linked to the expected timing of the end of TTB's set as they've been selling a reduced price ticket for both shows. As I hadn't planned to stay for Jo H's set (which is at a different venue to TTB within the 02) I'm a bit disappointed that it appears TTB's set will probably be less than 90 mins. sad

Anyone else from the Forum going to the Bluesfest besides my Gig Buddies David (Curryman), Pete, Maggie and Lydia?

Re: London Bluesfest 2015

AMAZING show from TTB, - each and every one of the 12 piece band is at the top of their game. Set was a tribute to Leon Russell Joe Cocker as well as their own great songs.
