YouTube as MTV

MTV is being replaced by YouTube - that is music producers have started to see the advantages of social networking as opposed to TV being the primary expected vehicle into the minds of listeners more likely to hear a digital rendition of a network or solid state device (like an MP3 player or iPod). MTV Video was sort of an art form. Mashups on mobile phones seem a poor alternative. Give us high art instead of huge production budgets. For that YouTube production is far far better!

Rick Bryant and The Jive Bombers

Serious consideration being given to bringing back Rick Bryant and The Jive Bombers for another gig - they have started rehearsing some of Rick's new stuff - the better stuff - which to me means most of it. Your feedback very much appreciated. Many seemed to like the last some of the first half, and we may have a video of this for you soon!

There is plenty of interest brewing in the Blues community and several people have asked if they could get tickets in advance. As there is limited availability for the Jive Bombers - we want to give everyone equal opportunity to see the show its only fair to sell tickets to give everyone an even chance.

An allocation of tickets will be released for sale - watch the news page.
