It was worth it for Keb Mo and Buddy but it wasn't worth paying extra for the vip tickets, shoddy reallyRog wrote:Wow - and I was so pissed off I couldn't make it there. Now I'm not! Cheers, BG - I feel much better now. I would still have loved to be at rock2wlgn tho'....

Re: Bluesfest - Whitianga
Best part of the weekend was meeting up with Ric Hall (Buddy's guitarist) over at Strayfalcon's on Friday night.
This is a pic of me, Sean (Bluesbass) and Ric. Shortly before I taught him some new licks for Saturday night... he now knows how to play freebird.

Sweet pic! And this thread makes me feel better about missing out too, although so did Zakk's 10 minute solo at Rock2Wgtn.

Re: Bluesfest - Whitianga
Well well brother BG!
I must say the past few days have been an interesting one, as BG mentioned brother Ric a friend ours dropped by on Friday for a bite to eat and a chat about the latest round of gigs with the Buddy Guy band, Ric for those of you who dont know him hes been Buddys gat man for a few years now and hes played with the likes of BBKing,Eric Clapton,Derek Trucks,Santana,Jeff Beck,Albert King, Jimmy Vaughan and the list goes on.
Rics been a good friend and always makes himself available when hes in town so it was great catchin up and chewing the fat about music etc etc, BG even played and jammed a lil with Ric..... cam cord footage to follow.
I was fortunate to spend the past few days with Buddy Guy and The Buddy Guy Band and to get a good insight into the "behind" the scenes look into the world of one of the "Living Blues Legends" though I was there for Ric as a mate I was still fortunate to be able to "live and eat the Blues" whilst Buddy was in town.
Keb Mo joined us for an impromptu Jam which was a lotta fun, as for the Whitianga Festival I cant really comment as I didnt hit there until about 8PM with the Buddy Guy Entourage and we spent most of that time in the green room before Buddy took to the stage, I viewed Buddys set from side stage and it apppeared to be quite a big crowd and obviously a lot had stayed to see Buddy and given the crowd that was around Buddys Green room it was clear to see that there were a lot of Buddy Guy fans milling about for a glimpse of their hero
Ric was approached a number of times after the gig and asked about how he got his tone and what he was using.......I'm pleased to say that at a jam earlier on during the day Ric was blown away with my "Gold fuzzie bro" pedal and hence he used it at the Whitianga gig on all of his solos, thanks to Fuzzie bro pedals which rocked the stadium that nite!!!!!!!
Ps Fuzz Rics blown with ya pedal
