Today l'm talking about the blues.
Following on from last week, l'm talking about the best blues band l saw at Wangarratta.
The festival is kicking off again next Friday, and, back when l was attending there used to be a blues tent. It was situated down by the river( a river that has flooded before). I was in that tent one very rainy Saturday night and sat listening to the music while watching the water slowly creep closer to the tent with all the amps and cords and all the other electrical things in the tent. But that's another story.
We saw this band in a very crowded pub and the place was jumping. It was the music that tempted us in and what great music it was. In my opinion a blues band always sounds better with a harmonica player and that's what this group had with Ian Collard. There were drinks flowing and a good time was had by all. I like blues music and l like this band.
Like other bands they had gone through changes in line up over the years. One original member passed away in 2016 which was very sad. The one constant has been Ian Collard. You can find him on Youtube and see this band playing around the traps here in Melbourne.
Have a listen and let me know what you think.
