This is an open invitation to all bluesinthenorthwest.com readers to attend the upcoming concert and recording session for the Cadillac Kings at that lovely venue The Ironworks in downtown Oswestry.

‘33′ Records will be releasing a live album from the upcoming show.

In the words of lead Cadillac Mike “Come on down and have a little raucousness immortalised on CD”.

The attached flyer allows for free admission to the gig.  Please print and take it to the venue on the night.

Music-wise, on the night,the lads are hoping to record a bunch of favourite covers which haven’t appeared on any of the CDs plus quite a few new numbers which should give them a whole album’s worth of previously unrecorded material.

THE MUSTANGS

Friday 20th February 9pm live at The Ironworks, Oswestry

The new album from The MUSTANGS, regarded by many as the UK’s most exciting blues rock band, has been released.

Entitled NOTHING STAYS THE SAME, the album is The Band’s second release under BLUESMATTERS, the UK’s biggest dedicated blues label.

NOTHING STAYS THE SAME has 13 brand new, original Mustangs songs, showcasing The Band’s ability to mix a range of blues inspired styles on one album, yet maintain a sound and voice that is all their own.

THE MUSTANGS’ unique brand of blues rock is cut from a different stone than other blues bands: combining the edge and tight punch of traditional r’n’b with a more melodic and lyrical slant, the four-piece Hampshire based band sounds like no other.

“Entertainment, quality of musicianship and songwriting craft - The Mustangs are a band that can get a crowd up on their feet or enthrall a sitting audience and that is a great combination to have in your musical armoury”…..Blues Matters

Performing a selection of blues tunes it’s easy to see why they were voted best band of the year in respected music magazine GigBase.Frontman Adam Norsworthy draws his charismatic voice from some dark corner of his soul, and presumably rips his dynamic guitar mayhem from the same scary place” ……… Blues Matters

One of the finest blues outfits in the UK will be making a rare trip up north this Friday.  It’s the first time north of Birmingham with the new regular line-up featuring Mal Barclay on guitar (wait til you hear THIS guy!!!) plus the 23 year old boogie-woogie sensation that is Henri Herbert on piano, (the fire brigade in Monaghan, Ireland is still damping down the flames on the pianos he played at the Harvest Time Blues Fest two weeks ago).

The Cadillac Kings - The Ironworks, Oswestry - Friday 26th September.

£5 on the door or £4 in adv.

Just a reminder to all the Doug MacLeod fans in the area that he is appearing at Number 35, the superb bistro/ wine bar in Willow Street, Oswestry on thursday 18th September. Pay on the door for a 9pm start or get down earlier and enjoy a pre-gig meal. Tickets are £8 and can be reserved by ringing 01691 661114.

This Thursday sees another outing for the individual talents of Tommy Allen and Johny Hewitt playing together as a phenomenal blues duo.

I saw them for the first time at the Worthenbury Festival this year and I thought that they were great.

They will be at 35 in Oswestry next Thursday.
