Blues Music at Glasto

[Kashkin]

I don't know much about blues generally but I love John Fairhurst. Can anyone recommend anything similar - really dirty and electro?

[Platt073]

I haven't seen John Fair Hurst but have heard he's pretty good. Deffinately one on the radar for 2016!

[Platt073]

Just looked on U tube, John Fairhurst is brilliant. Think I may have missed him at Glastonbury before!

Saw him in the Glade last year - was very good though I'd say he's rock. Nothing new about his style etc but bleddy enjoyable

Proper job

[Platt073]

Rock & Blues is all intersects somewhere!

[Platt073]

Try Joanne Shaw Taylor

[Platt073]

I don't normally think much of Tom Jones, but last night he sang some blues with Jools Holland big band.

It was really good, maybe he's getting into Blues now? 

[Platt073]

Can we put ZZ Top into Rock Blues?

If so bring on the Blues!

I may be a bit late in this but has anybody heard of Lazer Lloyd before? He came up on a sponsored post on Facebook, had a wee listen and he was pretty good! I'd recommend him to anybody who would consider them a fan of blues music. He's playing in Paris on Monday 27th June so I reckon he could easily be on the Glastonbury bill somewhere?

I'll keep a lookout for him. Hopefully we will get plenty of Blues!

Billy Boy Arnold is playing the Great British Rock and Blues Festival this month. And The Robin in Wolverhampton on January 19th.

First bit of music I properly sat down and watched last year was ZZ birmingham then John Fairhurst in a tiny bar in the green futures field, it was absolutely brilliant! And there was home made cider on sale for a very good price if i remember correctly!

Never heard of him before but I like this! I play guitar and I'd love to know how he gets this tone...

Yeah good isn't he! What guitar and amp have you got?

He sounds great.

Er I have a Squier tele with Seymour Duncan Hot Rails, but at the minute I mainly use an Epiphone Les Paul since it's pretty new to me. In fact I was playing it this morning!

I don't have an amp (small flat!) so I use Guitar Rig 5 and headphones, there are so many options in GR I tend to just fire up the fake Orange amp ("Citrus") and add a delay to that. I really need to play about with it.

Do you play? If this is starting to derail this thread it might be best to start another thread for musicians...? Or PMs?

Sounds lovely! I've got a cream and black American Tele and a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III. I only really bought them (on finance) to play live with my band at the time but we stopped playing so rarely play them but they are a match made in Heaven when it comes to the tone. I tend to play my classical guitar much more.

Sounds great! I've heard the Hot Rods have a great natural blues/rock sound, would love to try a Vox AC30 too.

Aww keep up your electric playing! I find it much better to play over drums rather than just the guitar itself, it feels far more productive (since it forces you to play along and try to make actual music rather than just practice scales). I use BFD3 but I'm sure you could find small samples to loop and play over.

EDIT: Never played a classical but they seem like fun.

Anyway, derail over

Yeah I just took my guitar in to Dawsons the music shop in Liverpool and had a play on numerous amps and the Hot Rod was the one straight from the off! Such a nice, clean tone with great reverb on it too. I was taught and grew up playing the classical so it's much more natural to me but do love a good play on my Tele every now and then!

Have had to stop listening to Bowie records after a Bowie exclusive week.

Its a Leadbelly sort of day

ZZ Top & poss Joe Bonamassa?    Maybe it's a blue's year!

Just spotted Buddy Guy is playing in UK 30th June, 1st and 2nd July. Tour dates show a gap from the end of May.

Would be perfect for a pyramid spot like BB King.
