BBC4 TV tonight

If you like blues n good music, you've just missed a great Seasick Steve docu, but if you turn on now hes on in Reading Festival:cool:

This bloke is absolute class. And the rest of the night looks brilliant too

[Messie]

Saw him Summer 2007 at Cambridge Folk festival. His style, skill and bluesman approach just blew my socks off.




But this is the second thread that's mentioned a Folk festival today - on a BIKE site!!! eeek:eek::eek::eek:

hey, I'm not in the least bit embarrassed about the styles of music I like. Seasick Steve absolutely rocks.
However I am embarrassed about the fact that I fell upon him watching Jools Hollands Hootanany 2007

[Sudoxe]

I've been watching this so far...

I saw him at the Royal Albert Hall, along with Amy Lavere supporting. I recall he was drinking straight out of a bottle of whisky for most of the set. :cool:

I like his approach to the guitar (just play the damned thing without being too technical about it) , with his own rhythm section (his foot)...now where did I put my slide...

[dizzyblonde]

hes like Ray Stubbs Amazing one man blues band. Now hes a guy to go see
He is just plain simple raw blues, just tha way i like it.

[Messie]

Nah, not embarrased, just surprised.

Turned over and I'm just so pleased to see such a young crowd lovin his music!! At Reading!!! Fantastic. I saw him in more ahem mature circumstances

[Messie]

I've not seen him with a band before. I like!!!

He's on again at 10 at The Barbican

We used to have a jazz and blues night in our local, the amount of really cool people we've seen playing there...shame it closed down for a year and got taken over by some guy who thinks rock bands are better....
Its where i spent my first birthday celebration with Im Indoors watching Ray Stubbs...foookin brillllll.
We just missed seasick steve last year in Leeds....because we were working :-( Hope we get opportunity some time in the future

mind you I do have three of his CDs so I supppose thats ok instead 8)

[Sudoxe]

Yep, I was recently handed a guitar at a party. So I just started playing bluesy stuff (that's all i really play unless i go into 60's rock even then its more blues based).

I think the quote was "He's playing the bloody blues, How old is he?"

I got the chance to see B.B King last year too, that was awesome.

[dizzyblonde]

My other half saw James brown in Leeds before he died....he rocked.

I love playing the blues on my guitar. I like it even better when an old friend comes round for a jam :-)

[Messie]

Ahh if only...

but I figure a good audience is just as important :D
