Hello, I’d like to introduce you to a true bluesman, someone you’re gonna hear a lot about. His name is Glenn Patrick. He’s from Kansas City USA and I had the good pleasure to meet him recently when I interviewed him for Blues Matters Magazine. Glenn has been acquainted with some of great names of American music including Albert Collins, Albert King, Duane Eddy and many more. He has a band full of great musicians who’ve also played with some mega names – Marshall Tucker Band, Sister Sledge and many more. Glenn has a superb album ‘Nuthin’ but a Thang’ out on Shakehouse records. It’s an album that captures all that is best is in American music; true swing and great ensemble playing; so there’s an introduction. Now I recommend a visit to Glenn’s website. Have a look around and I’ll tell you more about him in future blogs.

Elephant Shelf at Charlotte Street
We had a recent gig at what is probably the best best Blues & Roots music venue in London Charlotte Street Blues. We were on a double bill with SAM KELLY and we all had a great evening. We played our original stuff and SAM played his funky groove versions of some R&B classics. In the meantime here is a pic:-
