If you are looking for talent over technology, then here it is: An amazing totally acoustic 'live' set by The Blues Band, Paul Jones, Tom McGuinness, Dave Kelly, Gary Fletcher and Rob Townsend, stripping the Blues right back to basics.
Played in a ground-breaking venue, famed for its acoustics, previously the domain of the world's top Classical performers, the Snape Maltings at Aldburgh on Suffolk's wild sea coast, an 850 seat auditorium built in 1948 by composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) with his close friend, singer Peter Pears. The reserved Snape Maltings insisted on 'no amplification'. No problem! The Blues Band's vast experience and repertoire came to the fore - and despite the absence of Bartok, Beethoven or Bach, the gig sold out!
