The Dundee Blues Bonanza 2007

Saturday was another great day out in Dundee for the annual Blues Bonanza,
A few friends met at the DCA around 3pm to see a 4 piece outfit called 'No Time For Jive'. This lead us on to 'Number 25' to see Bob Hall (A virtuoso blues 'n' boogie piano player from Yorkshire). Then on to The Nether Inn to See 'Midnight Blues Band'. This is a must see there a local 4 piece band playing some uplifting Blues, they also do some good old Pink Floyd Classics as well. A must!! 'The Midnight Blues Band'
By this time our plan of action went out the window...

Now after a few pints there, we're off again to find food first in the rain. At least I remembered a coat (well sort of). I goo helping of fish 'n' chips to soak up the beers (Woops.. water... Mmm) whatever. Then we were off again to Macdaniels to see 'Blue Wolfs' These guys were drawing on the Vaughan Brothers Legacy. Another good band. Now were off again singing in the rain while heading to 'The Waterfront' to see 'Mama's New Bag'. I wasn't too impressed by them. So around the corner in the rain again!! to Dexters to see the end of another good band called 'Krissy Mathews', now! not sure if they were good or was it the beer Mmm... Outstanding!!...
Then we're off again in the Rain, don't know who was singing this time, to 'The Bank Bar' to see 'The Deal' A 3 piece (I'm sure there were more 6 at least) outfit from Scotland with a Blues Rock flavour heavily influenced by Rory Gallagher.

A great day out had by us, and I'm sorry the friend's that weren't there missed it. O and the drinks....
