When I first started this little exercise we were a month into lockdown on the 24th April. Like most of you I expected this to last a month or two. The reality now is clear and sadly it will be a full twelve months and probably a lot more between my last gig and the next one. We go again and hopefully this brings back memories for my gig going chums who have joined me on this great musical journey down the years.
So with gigs getting cancelled not rearranged, this is now becoming a trend. I have little to no expectations that the seven gigs booked for March, April and May will happen.
Just the one today for my look back down memory lane.
1991, Robert Cray, Town & Country, London
This was arguably the height of Crays career with him playing multiple nights in London. The T&C was our venue of choice around this time and so off we head. I have reviewed Cray many times on here and this one would have been the ‘Midnight Stroll’ tour.
Cray is the master of that really clean pickin blues style. Every note is perfect and controlled though not sanitised in any way but just brilliant blues in its purest form.
A fine show to add to all of the other fine shows we have seen with him.
Don’t forget, support your small local venues and smaller artists in these difficult times, stay safe and keep on rockin y’all.
