Hi there ! Finding this guy is fabulous ! Love the audio quality too. Sounds like a Paramount WITHOUT the frying bacon. And with his music partner on washboard : Great share Richard! Oscar and Quico are fantastic players and people. I met them last year in Barcelona while walking near the La Rambla. They were busking with the Jinx Jazz Band and played later that night as a duo at a night club. I shot the following video of them there.

They live in Barcelona ? I know a great guitarist who lives & gigs there - Balta Bordoy (originally from the Balearic island of Majorca, where I first met him about 30yrs ago) He must know these guys. I'll ask him. My friend, Balta, was telling me that sadly, many of his favourite music venues in Barcelona have closed down since the Pandemic. He now gigs a bit more in Majorca again.

Ha ha !!
Turns out, my friend Balta is mates with them !
While I mention Balta, I can't remember if I posted anything of his stuff before. He is a guitarist (he doesn't sing) but he puts great bands together, in Majorca as well as Barcelona (he lives & gigs between both, and even Formentera island, where one of his singer/harp players is from).
Here he is with his Barcelona-based main band, with the amazing Victor Puertas on vocals and Hammond organ. (Victor is also really fab on harmonica) :

Tom Jones singing with the Blind Boys of Alabama backstage somewhere out on the road
Only a minute or so, but it is a wonderful moment captured on someone's phone.
Damn....can Tom and his friends sing!

Here's the latest one from Oscar and Quico, playing Dough Roller Blues, using that amazing lookin' circa 1940 Amperite SR80 ribbon mic.

...all that's misssing is a dark, smokey club, Mrs PD as an 18 year old, a pint of Guinness and cider and a No6 tipped. (and I'm still alive!)

Released on this day in 1976. This was part of the soundtrack to that hot summer.

Released on this day in 1976. This was part of the soundtrack to that hot summer. Shine On Michael Great pick Michael. I love this album and ‘Book Of Dreams’ which I think came out before it (?). The 2 albums link together nicely due to the synthesizer noodles at the beginning of one album and at the end of the other. I forget which way round! Anyhow, carry on! Best wishes Andy
