Al Brown and The Bluelighters
From Glasgow, Al Brown is this country's finest Blues Guitar Player of the moden era without question.
He is outrageously talented and his deput solo album also revealed that he has a rich singing voice with a depth that matches his wonderful guitar playing.
Blues in Britain magazine said that he is a breath of fresh air in a world of numerous blues rock guitarists!
The support act will be Jake and James who are yet another band formation from the embers of the now defunct EJBF sponsored Edinburgh Blues Academy. They will be taking us on a journey around the Delta, playing a set of 'Back Porch' blues songs covering recording artists from 1905 to the 1950', from Son House to the Rev Gary Davies.
