Two good gigs last week - on Wed 14th Feb we played the Barham hotel in Marham lane East Hull - which is affectionately known as ‘little Beirut’. Fortunately the landlord Brian - apart from being a great bloke and a charming host - is a South African and a bit of a tough nut I think. He has spent his first weeks at the hotel getting rid of the unruly element and has done a great job. He bought us a drink and was very genial. Must have been the uitlander transvaal memory that made me sing him that old Big Bill Broonzy classic ‘Black, Brown and White’ to which Gibbo added echo effect and Brian got his smoke machine working to give that blues club feel. It always brings back memories of the night I sang ‘Black, Brown and White’ in that cultural centre of the north Immingham, South Humberside, when afterwards a bloke pinned me to the wall and accused me of being a racist! Suffice to say I was unable to explain the subtle workings of irony to this particular individual - even though I was at pains to explain that the song was originally by a black blues singer.

On Friday 16th Feb we did the ‘Black Bull’ in East Halton and went down very well to a crowd that knew how to enjoy life - even if a gang of geordie contractors were making so much racket that I offered to turn down our amplifier so that they could get on with their conversation a bit better. The landlord was ill in bed - but gratifyingly after the gig he came downstairs said he really enjoyed our blues and re-booked us for Friday 4th May. Try and make it if you are reading this.

On Tuesday 6th March I am hosting the night at the ‘Tap and Spile’ in Grimsby where the headliner is Dave Speight and the Snake Kings. We saw Dave and his group on Sunday 11 Feb at the Sleepers Bar on Newlands Avenue in Hull. This bar has got a very cosmopolitan feel and a discerning audience - probably in part due to its proximity to the university. It was fantastic to see Dave again after all those years ( I haven’t seen him since we were at Leeds University together in 1969-70. He hasn’t lost any of his blues grit and magic and is still a cool (if a bit rounder) dude.
If you cant get to the Tap and Spile, I am playing with Gibbo and ”fingers’ John Shelton (’Blues on Tap’) at the ‘Nags Head’ pub in Wootton, (Near Ulceby and Immingham) on Friday 9th March. It looks a nice pub - well worth a visit.
