Great Line up. Wish I was down in the Cape then...

Gerald Clark has to be one of the best performers I have seen... Pity I can't find anything on him or and of his CD's... If anyone knows where I can find a solo album or something... PM me ?

Hi Brent

I agree, Gerald has upped his game quite a bit since the Delta Blues days

Here is a link to his Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gerald-Clark/46099269862

Last time I checked him was the sunday morning of the Bloemendal Blanc and Blues festival, he really rocked!.

Albert Frost is also seriously cool, and a really nice dude at that.

Of course can't wait to finally see Dan Patlansky live, and then the harp player in me can't wait to see Dave Fergusson...

This is going to be AWESOME!!!

*Rene, glad to hear you are coming, we can beer together! yay

Wedding >☹

*BUMP*

So guys, who is attending? I have just had a chat with the organiser.

He says its an open air type concert, there will be limited chairs, in a big Marquee for shade.

So he would advise to bring your own deck chairs or a lekke blanket / pillows to park off on.

No food and beverages allowed, must buy everything there, but their prices normally arent bad.

I am taking a cooler box to fill up at the bar so that I don't have to walk up and down the whole time.

Who would like to join me at my lair?

Please let me know and I'll update the list. So far I think it will be

*Fritz Brand (might get some mates to come along)
*Renesongs + better 5/8
*Reinhard + gf
*nick (maybe)
*Any nubile young woman I can persuade
*Peters
*Tynan (Maybe)

I can't wait for this one dudes, its gonna COOK!!

peters

Tynan and I both planned to go, will check with him if he still going

FatBoy

Cool I'll add you to the list so long!

FatBoy

FatBoy

Orsome! Once again, I couldn't find a Fedora hat in my size.... Apparently there is only one factory left in SA and they only make em up to about 3 sizes smaller than I need, so I had to settle for a brown leather hat at Cape Union Mart...

I sometimes wish I wasn't built like an ogre hahaha

Anyway, see ya okes there!!!

Heath

ok i am heading there as well , how the hell do i find you guys ........

Renesongs

Wow - This one really cooked Albert Frost, Richard Pryor, and Dan Patlansky one after the other. Each driven to put out their best and they did. What a guitar fest. Under the cover of a "Blues Summit" we were treated not only to traditional blues solos and slide, but country claw, Acid Rock feedback and distortion, blisteringly fast shredding, blues in Hungarian minors. G3 se moses , we have it right here in South Africa. It was nice to see some GFSAffers there as well, to those who couldn't make it, now would be a good time to put you gear on gumtree LOL [/rave]

Heath

Agreed a awesome show albit a bit disappointed by albert frost ...... But the rest were brilliant and i found a new favourite , richard pyror is absoultely amazing

FatBoy

Awesome awesome awesome! I was really blown away by Dan Patlansky, I mean Richard Pryor and Albert Frost can play, but umm the Dan is just insane!

I was a bit disappointed with the sound rig, there was lots of unintentional feedback and clipping and popping and all sorts of gremlins, not sure what happened there...

First time seeing Lonesome Dave Ferguson as well, the man is a great performer and harp player.

Gerald Clarke seems to just up his game every gig that I see, I say watch out for that dude, he is gonna go places!

The music was awesome though, nice venue, decent food, large amounts of beer, heavenly!

The closing set (The Thunderbirds) was really cool, pity most people got up and left after The Dan blew their heads off.

All in all, a great event and I am booking my ticket for the next one the moment they come up online.

Jack-Flash-Jr

Thanks for the reportbacks, so bummed that I had to miss it. WILL be there next year...

A random snap from where we were sitting.

I've seen the Dale Collins Band twice now and I've never been impressed, something is lacking IMHO but I'm not sure what it is.

Is Dale Collins the short guy who looked like a young Joe Cocker? Sang a few afrikaans songs?
