Thanks nimnam but i have to admit it was not me, but henryslim of this forum who did the vid, and thanks for that H

I think it illustrates how the blues is being kept alive and bought to young people.

Most of the audience who were luvin' it were in their early twenty's and have not been introduced to a kicking blues band.

Yeah, thanks Nick.
Used my Nikon D5100, equipped with a Rode video mic - a little fancier than a camera phone! So actually the sound should've been better - I bought the mic very recently & still learning how to get the best out of it.

Anyway - Harpin' On are a great band, and Phil's a great frontman & friend to us all here in Bristol's blues/live music scene. He even lets young whippersnappers like me sit in on a few numbers. ; )

For the gear-heads - that's a 1970s WEM Westminster Phil's blowing through (15 watts, 1x12"). Fantastic lil amp.

Very nice! The drums kick the harp accents in a very effective way. Great energy. Nice sound, too. Lively.

What's not to like! Brilliant all around. The only thing I would say is that the vocals started getting a little forced around the 1:13 mark, which I thought was totally unnecessary. You've got a superb voice as it is.

H2012?

Maybe, I hope so, but having to deal with distant, ill, old relatives, so unsure..
