(Raoul and Black
Friday!)
With the monthly Blues gigs at Live now becoming a popular
gig evening ,organizer Will Wallace and The Blues Train (who host the evening),
have an added dimension to the next
blues evening which is scheduled for tonight (August 15).
Raoul Roux as front man and lead guitarist are electrifying!
Alongside him is tight, solid, hot blues outfit, Raoul and Black Friday! Rocking’
blues in a style which is anything but laidback and setting the bar at an
international level and never settling for less. Raoul and Black Friday describe
their style as "ever evolving, learning and developing using blues as the
fundamental style."
The band members are technically brilliant and make for a
fine-tuned machine but they are much more than instrumental virtuosos. Their
playing underpins a true blues passion for their music.
"You must LIVE the music," says Raoul Roux. And
they do just that as the band's live performances transport their audience on
an exhilarating blues journey of audio and visual stimulation.
Support Acts are Bobby and The Dynamites and East Coast
Basement Blues Band
Will Wallace is also the Programme Director for the Durban
International Blues Festival, which is held annually at Wilson's Wharf and celebrates
its tenth year this year from October 14 to 19.
Say Wallace, "We have decided to take advantage of this
magical blues evening at Live and use the occasion to hold a draw for the name
or name the local artists who will perform on the Durban International Blues
Festival Stage on the Tuesday night at the Local Blues Explosion. There will be
four slots and we have at least nine bands to choose from so we will be having
a draw at Live at about 22h00 on August 15," he adds.
The Blues Train takes place tonight (August 15). Doors open
at 20h00. Entry R50. Live the Venue is situated at 166 Matthews Meyiwa Road
(formerly Stamford Hill Road), Durban. More information on 082 967 2179.
