hi everyone,

This is a new band on me. Has anyone heard of Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes. We are supporting them in Plymouth on May 16 so I looked them up and was suitably awed by what I discovered. Paul was voted Instrumentalist of the year, 5 times, the band got Blues album of the year 5 years running AND UK blues band of the year for 5 years.

How can I not have hear of them????

What a track record....

The gig is at Duke of Cornwall Hotel, Millbay Rd Plymouth and we've offered to help sell tickets as there's very little time left to publicise the gig. tickets £8 in advance (more on the door). Please email
Deni - Mad Rush for full details

or PM me

Cheers and hope to see some of you
Deni

I heard this band in Aberdeen a few years ago. They are a very very good band and Paul is an excellent harpist, but for my tastes they are too technically proficient and don't play with enough heart and soul. Aberdeen's own Spider Mckenzie is a real player who plays what he feels.

I don't know Paul Lamb. Is he better than Paul Jones, Glen Headley, Rollo Markee...?
