Wellington Blues man Al Witham, who has appeared at the CCBC several times, will launch his new CD – Faultlines – at the Ruby Lounge, Bond Street, in the capital, this Friday (13th). Not superstitious then.
Al has been described as “a brilliant guitarist, with an expressive voice lying somewhere between [Johnny] Cash, Tom Waits, and a bag of gravelly cement”. (Dave Burgess, Capital Times).

Backing musicians on the CD included Dave Murphy, George Barris on bass and Terry Casey on harmonica and they will play at the launch on Friday. Sounds like it’s going to be a great party!

Hey thanks for plugging the launch guys. I meant to add that the gig starts at 8pm sharp, so anyone travelling over the hill should leave early. For those who work in wellington, there will be live piano music at the Ruby Lounge from 6pm, so why not stay for dinner and make a night of it.
The first set will be the album, then a party set. Albums will be on sale of course. Hope to see you there.
Al
