Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Blatant self-plug but our band "The Achievers" have been chosen as a finalist in the UK BLUES CHALLENGE Whoop, etc! It's essentially an audition - with an emphasis on originality. Whoever does the right set on the night will go on to represent the UK in the European Blues Challenge (Netherlands 🇳🇱) and International Blues Challenge (Memphis, Tennessee 🇺🇸). We're excited. And encouraged! Gig is at the Bluefunk Club, Poynton (Stockport) Cheshire, on the 14th Sept. 2019. EDIT: Typo in title changed. Oops!

Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 @TeebsI think it'll be an evening do- haven't got proper times yet but will likely be announced shortly. @Raymondo has become the un-official Achievers mascott. Let's just say it wasn't a surprise to see him nursing five pints of Guiness when we arrived at a pub in Dover not so long ago! Hope you got back safe Ray! Love the Wotton-Under-Edge fest- it's a great weekend, and super local for us too :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teebs Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Fab! Look forward to it! (Just need to get day pass for good behaviour from SWMBO. I guess I'll have to be good for a bit ). Look forward to meeting both @Jack_Stroud_Bass & @Raymondo & any other BC peeps who can make it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_Stroud_Bass Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks @Raymondo for the heads up! Pleasure to catch up with you at The Prince Albert on Fri night, really enjoyed playing our set Thanks for par-taking in the purchase of the new album too- hope you enjoyed it! @TeebsBrilliant- looking forward to meeting you at the Blues Challenge, it's a bit nerve wracking, but we're really enthused to be asked to play, especially since we're really on the fringes of the "blues" genre. In any case, we're well chuffed! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
