NAROOMABLUES FEST 2009
WELL ANOTHER GREAT WEEKEND OF BLUES, ROCKABILLY AND ROCK NOSTALGIA HAS COME AND GONE AGAIN. AS USUAL, THE WAS A GREAT LINEUP OF BLUES ACTS FROM THE STATES, WITH CHARLIE MUSSELWHITE, DIUNNA GREENLEAF BACK AGAIN, WITH CEDRIC BURNSIDE & LIGHTNING MALCOLM, ERIC SARDINAS & BIG MOTOR, CHRIS DUARTE BAND AND CANDYE CANE. BRIAN CADD WAS ALSO BACK AGAIN, THIS TIME WITH RUSSELL MORRIS. IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN RUSSELL PERFORM SINCE I WAS IN A SHOW WITH HIM AT THE OLD SYDNEY STADIUM 40 YEARS AGO. HE AND BRIAN PLAYED HIT AFTER HIT FOR AND HOUR AND A HALF. THE DAY'S ADDMISSION WAS WORTH IT FOR THESE GUYS ALONE! OTHER LOCAL ACTS INCLUDED THE BADLOVES,HIPPOS, BONDI CIGARS, XAVIER RUDD, THE BONE RATTLERS,MAL EASTICK, CHRIS WILSON, PYSCHO ZYDECO,BLUE KING BROWN, AND MANY MORE, AS THEY SAY.
I DIDN'T SEE EVERYONE, BUT MY FAVOURITES FROM THE USA, WERE CEDRIC BURNSIDE & LIGHTNING MALCOLM AND CHRIS DUARTE'S INVENTIVENESS. MY FAVOURITE LOCALS WERE BRIAN CADD AND RUSSELL MORRIS, JUST BRILLIANT ENTERTAINMENT, AND I REALLY ENJOYED BOTH SHOWS BY TASMANIAN PYSCHABILLY PUNKABILLY BAND THE BONE RATTLERS, GREAT FUN INDEED.
