skankdelvar Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 One might reasonably contend that the modern incarnation of the blues is Rap, sometimes of the gangsta variety. Performers who are perceived as a threat to polite society; rhythmic intensity; an avoidance of melodic development; lyrical preoccupations with women, 'bragging', substance abuse, a struggle against oppression and poverty; and a tendency to early and sometimes violent death among the prominent exponents of the form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always trying to get Buddy over to the U.K. I was hoping for end of this year but many venues book so so far ahead it’s kinda difficult to arrange a decent enough tour for Buddy. We were on the 2017 UK 36 date tour with John Mayall. Lots of new fans off that tour for Buddy so I agree that something more should occur now!

Mickeyboro Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Buddy had a really great first album that never really got heard. Saw him (and you, Pete) at Bournemouth on Mayall tour and he still has the talent, if not the momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Peter, Saw you first playing with The Shortlist many many years ago, and then with Buddy not quite so many years ago at Wilbarston Village Hall (rather posh as village halls go). Special Kudos for building your own basses! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mybass Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Cheers to you Count Bassy! The days of The Shortlist, wow, many a year ago as the band backing for Roger Chapman. i think Wilbarston Hall was about 6 years ago andI think that venue isn’t holding gigs anymore.

I think I half agree, in that the modern incarnation of the blues is not the modern blues. I more than half agree in fact, cos I can’t think of a better contender than yours. There’s either no equivalent or that’s as good as anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember that one - that was the first time out wasn't it Pete? Had to post a couple of Celestions to Texas from the tiny little post office for Buddy!

Also been mentioned but KWS would be up there somewhere too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teebs Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Buddy Guy - not modern, but still going strong as far as I know. Saw him live at the Bridgewater Hall Mcr a few years ago - was brilliant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NU5xA6ty0a4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great young band, Buddy is sort of an ageless type of guy.. He had a great message about the blues and told fun stories about the blues that included the major British blues artist.

Been listening to Marcus a little while, came up in a youtube recommendation because I was listening to Dumpstaphunk and I'm so glad it did. Coming to Manchester in October, really want to go see this band. Love his style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
