McTRUSTRY CBGs @ BYRON BAY BLUESFEST 2012

Posted on May 16, 2012 at 7:00am 4 Comments 0 Likes

I am always blown away and inspired by the players that come through my stall at The Bluesfest.

From seasoned players to absolute beginners.

Always a thrill to get someone who has never played a cbg (or guitar) before up and running.

Here is some footage. All shot on my phone. Next time i'll do it all sideways.

Fun Fun Fun!

It's a long video so maybe grab a beer or a cup of Tea

or a cbg and jam along!

Footage from May 2010 when Gary Martin and myself shared a stall at The Brisbane guitar Show.

My debut as a documentary maker.

The Bloopers are fantastic but sadly there was no time to include them here.

Enjoy.…

You performed very very nicely at Boissy-sans-Avoir for that first "BSA France Festival de CBGuitares"...alone or with LeadFoot and Hamish... i was so happy to meet you...

Thank you very much...like i said to Leadfoot, people loved this festival they want it again already !

At 9:59am on October 7, 2012, Leadfoot T said…: Nice meeting you and your family last night at the BSA Cigar Box Fest Nigel. You got some great chops and licks going on man.

At 8:53pm on April 15, 2012, Troy Pierce said…: Vicky sent me a jam video from the stall via facebook. Only I can't figure out how to get it from there to you. Got a facebook page?

At 4:21am on April 15, 2012, Penny Nelson said…: oh Forgot to mention to you I have a friend Starting a Blues open mic night at the Marsden hotel. Their band plays for an hour and then they open it up for any to jam. Shes very keen to get the CBG'ers there. The last one was started at 2pm on a Sunday so its good as its a reasonably early night. I'll let you know the date of the next one as soon as I find out.

At 12:42am on April 15, 2012, Penny Nelson said…: I thought I posted these before but who knows where they went. Pics of Moon Dog oh it looks like you can only put one pic per post.....

At 9:01pm on April 14, 2012, Penny Nelson said…: Ahhh moon dog - I still maintain that he only comes out at Full Moon. I have some pics of him too. This pic is from Thursday night when we were all eager and fresh - lol. The vid is hiding in the 2500 pictures I took at BluesFest but I will get to them. Yeah it was great to catch up. On Friday I went & visited Furry in Nimbin - the time flew just wasnt long enough but after 5 days at BluesFest and another three in Byron home was top of the list.

At 8:22pm on April 11, 2012, Troy Pierce said…: Yet another top bluesfest, and no rain!!!! Just a quick note to say ta for letting me hang out in between bands. How good are Melbourne Ska Orchestra! Got one last song in at your stall, then went and got all messed up at the staff party. Still feeling the wrath. So damn happy that you almost sold out of guitars again. You deserve it.You're doing beautiful work and I bet you made more than a few people very happy. And got in some real random jams. Onward to next year. Cheers again.
