Throw a bit of B.B.KING, a pinch of BUDDY GUY and a generous helping of ROBERT CRAY into your blues blender and out comes MICHAEL BURKS. Another sensational gig,well done Worthenbury.

Thanks Wolfman. As Ken and I said when Michael played Hideaway – if you’d closed your eyes, it could well havel been Freddie King on the stage.
It really was a sensational night and in my mind confirmed that he is without doubt at the top of the ladder.
