Recent publicity – two newspaper features in two weeks – paid off for the club last night when we had our biggest crowd for many months.
Of course it helps to have a top-line Blues exponent like Darren Watson as your guest, supported by Alan Norman from the Windy City Strugglers. Darren was kind enough to tell the audience the Cross Creek Blues Club is one of the coolest gigs around – “…but you know that. It’s why you’re here, right?” He can come back anytime!
There were several new faces, and some we haven’t seen for a while, and with Darren’s powerful mix of Blues and Soul – traditional and original compositions – they got more than their money’s worth.
Lets not forget the support acts from the club who were on top form last night. Darren has said he always appreciates the local talent and the fact he isn’t expected to go on “cold”. (Must be one of the things that makes “the Creek” so cool!)
I had a great night! As usual.
Thanks to everyone involved . . .
You’re welcome.
Anytime.
