Sitting back sipping a Shiraz mellowing out to the J's tonight.

Just came back from Bluesfest in Byron and heard some great bands and artists.

If you get a chance go on-line and check out the following if you are not already familiar with them:

Charles Bradley and The Extraordinaires - This guy is a resurrection of James Brown. Great stage presence and leaves nothing in the tank when delivering his brand of soul music

Nicki Hill - This blues and rock singer has a voice like honey poured over hot gravel. Very powerful yet soulful

Beth Hart - Now this lady can sing

The Bella Reunion - Great blues band with a top front man Alan Boyle

Melbourne Ska Orchestra - Highlight of the festival for me. Best stage show and had 10,000 in the Crossroads tent dancing and laughing

John Mayall - at 82 years of age he still has it and put on a blues performance that was captivating.

Trombone Shorty - Great show and had the crowd eating out of his hand

Other acts like The Gypsy Kings, Counting Crows and Paul Kelly were all great as well.

On another note. I saw more Defenders in Byron Bay than anywhere else in Australia, they were everywhere. 110 90 and 130s - mostly Pumas.

If you get the chance to go to Bluesfest do it. Its a great 5 days of music and fun - apart from the occasional Wombat but with 100,000 + over the weekend the odds are there will be a few in amongst them.

Funny that, chillin with a beer listening to Beth Hart on you tube. Bob

This is a sad tale of an all too familar story... Servicemen and women who return to their families sporting wounds that sometimes aren't visible...

Passed this on to the VVAA Redcliffe. it reduced some members to tears, as it did me. So close to the mark. Thank you for posting, Bob
