Neal Pattman played his first European gig last night in Dublin. And Brendan Power opened.
Pattman's set was fine down-home, Sonny Terry lives, stuff. Power opened with "Spaceharp" (uggh), continued with "The Jolly Beggarman" (yum, yum), "My Lagan Love" (licks lips with delight), "Jig Jazz" (don't ask) and "Didgeriblues" (if you don't get it straight away, you never will). All were played solo except for his last one, "Chopped-up Onion Blues", about getting the blues when you need them.
I was surprised by the amount of electronics he used. Does anyone out there know what sort of kit he uses?
