Our band recently supported Paul Jones and The Blues Band - a track of ours can now be heard on his long-running BBC blues show. Here is the link for the whole program, with us appearing around the 50:40 mark:

Nice work Chinaski and great kudos to you and the band being played on Paul's show. Are you UK based?

Hi Chinaski,
I'm in Aus and often listen to Paul's show on line after spending some time living in the UK (my wife is English). Radio 2 was the only station I listened to.
I loved your playing and the interaction with the band, very authentic, yet with original touches. I have a question about your studio production. Was there any compression added to your harp sound in the post production process? It might be just a symptom of the sound coming out of my iPad speakers.
Thanks.

Hi Prento,

Thanks for the kind words, glad you liked it. No, there was no compression added to the harp whatsoever in the studio process - as you say, this may be down to iPad speakers!

Just a wee bump for this, before it drops off the iPlayer in a week or so.

Please have a listen to the show if you can, we drop in around the 50:40 mark.

@Chinaski- Solid playing by all of you. I can really dig the tight pocket you have and how your harp playing gets in & out of it as you feel it. Really nice playing.

Thanks, Owen. It was a live take in the studio, so hopefully retains some of that natural feel..

I heard this first time round and loved it. Paul says, "I really like the harp player's attitude." Nice.
