Starvin’ Sid Opens LudaFest In Style
You know you’re in safe hands when asking Starvin’ Sid to open a Rock N Blues Festival weekend. Not only do you get a tight, crisp sound, you also get three very experienced musicians who really enjoy what they are doing whether it be some classic rock or blues covers or even some of their own penned songs.
As ever the skins are in safe hands with Olly and Sid’s guitarmanship and story telling are always guaranteed to raise loads of laughs but is it me but in the second set did Jazz seem to play his white double bass more than his guitar? It really does not matter, the sound he generates from this home-grown piece of kit is just amazing and so entertaining to watch. We even had a guest harmonica player appear on stage to join in with the 1961 Howlin’ Wolf blues standard written by Willie Dixon, “Little Red Rooster”…more please.
Of course all good things have to come to and end but not before were treated to a tremendous version of the classic 1935 Big Joe Williams “Baby Please Don’t Go” popularised by Van Morrison’s Them in 1964…what a great night, thanks guys, unfortunately we’re going to have to wait until Saturday October 9th until we see them again.
