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 ![]() ![]() ![]()

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

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. ![]() 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... |

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. |

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 ![]()
