You don't need me to tell you the Bronte Blues Club is fast gaining a reputation for delivering Blues of the highest quality and last night was no exception. ickledot was proud to witness a performance from the excellent Doug MacLeod. A superb musician and singer, his set included much of his own material, particularly from his latest recording, The Utrecht Sessions. Most impressive though was his emphasis on performing for us in particular. As he said, his song list changes on a nightly basis, thus ensuring a fresh, unique feel for each venue.
The house band, BBC4 (1,2, 3?) were also in acoustic mood and in great form. Highlight for ickledot (bit of a creep and not necessarily a blues purist) was Jon Crossley's rendition of Randy Newman's 'Louisiana 1927'. Clearly enjoyed by all, the pre-main act chat melted away, so if any pin dropping had occurred, we'd have certainly heard it (well not really, cos Jon was playing, but you know what I mean).
