Alan Clayson And The Argonauts, July 2019, Half Moon Putney, Putney, London, United Kingdom
This many years from their inception, this act could just be going through the motions in performance, becoming a kind of tribute act to themselves. However…the individual character of the ensemble and moreover its material imbues shows with an electricity that few veteran crews can match.
Erja Lyytinen Plus Special Guests, November 2018, The Borderline, London, United Kingdom
On an Autumnal November night I made my way across London to the famous club The Borderline for an evening of blues rock guitar from Erja Lyytinen who was in the country for a short headline UK Tour.

Eric Bibb Plus Special Guest Felicia Neilsen, May 2018, Savoy Theatre, London, United Kingdom
Taking the stage solo at first and rolling into the vintage blues Going Down Slow, Bibb is soon joined by a multi-instrumental stringed instrument player, a bassist and a lively drummer, then treating the audience to some hard edged material and some softer sunshine stuff. And all parts in between.
