Blues Night At Veulettes
Sunday 30th November, 2008

Saturday saw an interesting evening at the small seaside resort of Veulettes-sur-Mer {link}. Friends of our friends Isabelle & Alain have a small Blues combo, and they were playing at a restaurant at Veulettes.

So several of us went to listen to Malcolm McCallum & Tim McGlue play the Blues.

Both played very well, real blues, and the evening was very entertaining. Good food, good friends and excellent music. The only down side was that Trish was not there since he had caught a chest cold, and thought it was wiser not to go.

The music was hot. You don't often see French people tapping their feet to the rhythm of the music, but in this case they did, a sign that the audience really enjoyed the music.

Tim McGlue sang with a real blues voice, and played the harmonica like a real Chicago bluesman.

Malcolm McCallum played the acoustic guitar with some slide guitar thrown in. Very well done.

Here's a 3 minute video I made of the event. This is my 3rd video, so please excuse my amateurish editing...
