There’s plenty of guitar based action going on in the Blues world these days, but Bluesharp seems to be somewhat forgotten. When did I last see someone holding a harmonica on the front of a CD in my local store? Well there’s one now. It’s a killer, and it’s British. Step forward Brighton’s Will Wilde and a lesson in pure Raw Blues

Sunny Skies in Poppelsdorf
I know the bands material so well now that I stuck an old envelope and a pen in my pocket before heading out the door. There’s usually a surprise or two in the band even after all these years – the last appearance (which I missed) saw Patrick Sühl add an extra guitar attack to the band, so who knows?

Tartan Blues is King
British Blues fans in the know have had a pearl of a collection to listen to recently in the form of a wonderful three part release of Scottish Blues musicians presented under the banner of ‘Jock’s Juke Joint’. It’s proof, if proof be needed, that there is a powerful Blues Community of which the mighty King King is just the tip of the musical iceberg.
Picnic with Beethoven
Stefan Blunier
Bonn’s Kunst!Rasen is approaching its Seasons end now whilst for others the Season is just beginning.
The Beethoven Orchestra Bonn began it’s new Season with a ‘Classic’ Open Air Picnic on Saturday, free for ‘All residents’. The aim being, so the Orchestras programme proclaimed, ‘to reach those people that until now hadn’t experienced Classical Music’.
