Well we've been away for a bit-literally. Belgium, Spain and France to be specific. I could be a real poser here, and pretend that we've been on a European Tour together-but we haven't.
There is however, photographic evidence from last week of Arnie jamming on a borrowed telecaster, with a French Blues band. And I did manage to do a bit of networking in a most excellent music cellar Bar in central Bruges, where the owner's playlist was almost as good as mine. He's got a few BPS cards now,so he might even be reading this! Anyway, Listening to an Albert Collins solo pumped through a potent sound system certainly helped the Garre, De Ranke XX and Zot slip down at 2am in the morning!
All being well, the full four-piece B.P.S. combo will be allowed out to participate in a Cancer Research Fund Raiser at The Maudslay Hotel in Coventry on Sunday 25th March.
It's an evening gig in the Concert Room upstairs. These are usually very good sessions-even the ones where we turn up! We've done quite a few sessions there over the last few years. The acoustics in the room are excellent. There is usually a good mix of guests. Previously we've been joined by people like Sara Bennett, Kev Dempsey, Threepenny Bit, Katherine Fear and Jon Harrington, Rod Felton and Rob Armstrong, Sean Cannon and Maggie Coleman. To name but a few. Pete Grassby organises and so usually has a warble, too.
Being the crazy, globetrotting guys we are,April's looking a bit thin due to more overseas commitments, but our appearance at Bedworth Folk Club on May 23rd date is also now fully confirmed.
