I saw Michael and Ed and Louis at Treorchy on my biurthday in february, and weeks later (by coincidence) I found myself at a Paul Battenburgh night in Swansea conversing with Terry Clarke. A few weeks later I had the pleasure of Terry's company when he came up for a two night stayover in the Rhondda where I have lived for the last 17 years. There i found out all about Terry Ed and Mike's work, and of course Jesse Hercules Taylor, and we jammed Terry's muysic all night long the night before, friends came round with bongos and a cine camera and the nights became one, a tribute to Jesse and what i have learnt of his and .

The gig at Abertillery was a proper tribute to Jesse.

Hello Vic, Hwyl, Brandon and Jean,

Thank you very much for your kind words.

It has been a long time since Terry, Ed & myself played together and to do it as a tribute to Jesse Taylor made it even more special for us and very emotional.

Thanks for being such a great audience & I look forward to seeing the film of the evening.

We have done three concerts in your neck of the woods recently; The Tawe Delta Blues Club in Swansea, The Parc & Dare Theatre in Treorchy and the Abertillery Community Theatre. All three venues were a pleasure to play at, we look forward to playing in your area again soon.

Shine On,
Michael

In addition to the previous post;

I forgot to mention that it was great to meet Nick Splendid (one of our forum members) and his friend, Mike. They played a great opening set at the Abertillery Community Theatre on Friday night.

Thanks & best wishes to Nick & Mike

Shine On
Michael.

Hello again!
Many thanks for the kind words. Mike & I both enjoyed your set very much too.
You never know, we may bump in to each other again - hopefully i'll be using a tricone and a martin 000-28!!
It was great to meet you and chat and be able to thank you for the great advice you gave me on this forum.

keep in touch!

Hello Brandon & Jean,

I haven't heard anything about the film of the Abertillary gig since that night! I am sure it will turn up eventually - the guy who shot it (can't remember his name...had the same hat as me) said it would be a few months. We'll see!

Love to you both,
Shine On,
Michael.
