I'd just like to add my thanks to Chickenbone John and his tea-brewing, instrument-playing crew. THANKS!
To the performers: THANKS! Perhaps a special mention for BluesBeaten Redshaw, who managed to turn in an 'in-your-face' performance and chat-up a young lady at the same time. Impressive.
Oh, yes... We all need to THANK the fine gentleman who sat in with the performers and did good work on the snare and harp.

Great event, great people, great music.
Cheers.

I'm putting some photos on the UK 2009 CBG event discussion. Might be good if everyone else did too to keep it all together and easy to find. Maybe put any Youtube/vid links in there too.

Yes, Smith and Jackson are a most excellent duo...real old timey guitar picking from Pete and the most sublime singing from Jacqui..totally totally enrapturing..don't be a stranger at The Crosroads Blues Club..do come and see us again!!!

Pete won that guitar weeks ago ..I'd put it up in the raffle for the club's 2nd anniversary.. Pete was absolutely delighted to win it and I'm so pleased he's putting it to good use

John I was talking to Ju Ju and Mark C and I have discuused it before about sharing a stall at a guitar show. I just know there would be people out there that would go crazy for some of our stuff. I went to the Penrith show in August with a wedge of CBG profits money looking for somthing tasty to buy. Some beautiful but to me very boring stuff. Nothinbg much out of the ordinary. In the end I bought a box of Strat bits and bobs, neck and body for £25 to make a Ratocaster.

Maybe you know already, but pete who played yesterday, is playing the crossroads blues club as SMITH AND JACKSON. on 7th Jackson.
Comment by HOLLOWBELLY on October 4, 2009 at 6:29am
as Chickenbone said-postin vids is fine
BUT making an audio recording a persons entire performance and distributing CD's of it isn't!!
