Great gig on Sunday. Went to see Gary Moore at the Leeds O2 Academy with a friend who lives up that way.<\/p>\n
Gary Moore was better than usual – lots of solos and extended pieces. He seems to get better as he gets older. But a bonus to the gig was the support act: Buddy Whittington.<\/p>\n
Buddy is a blues musician – and a bloody great gutarist and vocalist, above all else. I must admit that when he came on stage his face looked familiar, but the name didn’t ring any bells. I think he was on a BBC show a few months ago with Eric Clapton. He has to be one of the best blues guitarists around at the moment.<\/p>\n
He was also a really nice guy. At the end of his set he announced that his new CD was on sale at the merchandise kiosk. When I went over there it turns out he was there signing copies and chatting with people, so I’ve got a real keeper here, I reckon. It seems he does this at most of his gigs, which just reinforces what a decent bloke he is.<\/p>\n
His album is on sale from Amazon here, and I really recommend it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
