guitar hero
I have spoken to him at different gigs.
Where did you get that from then?
I didn’t know that what a pair of great players.
Stevie taught him quite a lot. And, he is ever grateful.

Un peu brutal! ca manque un peu de finesse quand meme……….
I’m sure Stevie knew about Martin Simpson. That said, and while acknowledging the fact that Stevie Ray Vaughn is unparalleled in terms of playing Texas blues guitar, your comparison only diminishes Martin Simpson’s music. I know and respect the comfort that arises from relating the new with the familiar, but to do is more limiting than what you may think. I encourage everyone to listen to this for what it is, and not how it compares to the familiar, and see where that takes you. Cheers,
Epic 🙂
Just fantastic
Looking forwards to seeing you at the Chesterfield folk Club in April 2012

Anybody got an idea of how he does this turnaround? It’s a killer! Just like the rest anyway…
Lots of places in fact .. I am *almost* a groupie 😉
oh you met him? where was that? he’s such a little man, i was surprised, still got a lovely picture out of it. Folk power sister! Folk power! lol
Ha! I asked him that . .yep its true .. 🙂
whats he called ?
if ole bob was alive to day ,i think he would just sit there with an ivory tooth grin and say go man go,just think of how proud he would be to hear all the differnt takes,and twist on his songs,but the un disputed truth is that he is still with us,this video is proof.
Singin’ isn’t so great, as playin’ guitar, but still so sick : D
Oh, oh, oh, wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Leaves you catching your breath!
He’s so much better solo than he is with his trio, his performances lose so much energy with the trio. it’s kinda sad.
rumour has it that he sold his soul to the devil, twice….
