Hi there !
A few years back I told you all about my new young bandmate, Thomas Lucas.
Well, he is 23yrs old now and blossoming into a great blues musician, on vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica, mandolin and 6-string banjo.
At a mini-blues festival weekend in Edinburgh, back in February, he did a gig with my trio (with special international artist guests), plus on the Sunday afternoon, he managed a half hour solo piano set, and a half hour solo 6-string banjo set (in the style of Papa Charlie Jackson, to his own song lyrics !).
He also got up on harmonica for a guest spot with the headline act Big Jon Atkinson (USA) and blew everyone away.
Anyway, if you fancy checking him out, check out the videos on this youtube page.
Prof Scratchy is the ever-present blues master, and I’m even on a few tracks (a few on guitar, one on piano), plus our friends from Glasgow (Richard Rinn on viocals on many tracks, plus harmonica on some, and in charge of the sound and video recording, using as few microphones as possible, some with just ONE mic.
So, check out Richard Rinn’s youtube page.
Anyway, this post was supposed to be about our young Kid Thomas :
