Here's an extract of the Rootsville review of our concert (translated from Dutch).
Read the full festival review on Rootsville.be and follow their website, it's a gold mine of Blues reports and inspiration.

 

Last year at the 'Belgian Blues Challenge' in the ZikZak in Ittre, very few Flemings were present, which is why for many of us, it will be a premiere.

 

All respect, of course, goes to Katrien and Bart who were present in the 'ZikZak' and thus knew how to appreciate the skills of this band.

 

Their home base is our capital, Brussels, and so I am curious how they will acclimatize here in distant Limburg.

 

With their opener 'Favorite Boy', they immediately manage to draw all the attention to themselves, and that bodes well for the rest of their contribution here at 'Oetsloven'. The festival's favorite boy, Bart, is hard at work at that moment.

 

After 'The Middle', we get 'The Hardest Way', a song penned by guitarist Giovanni Colucci.

 

Sometimes leaning a bit towards 'funk', 'Wind Cries The Blues' is immediately well-received by the already numerous audience.

 

With Paul's mellow saxophone, their songs get an extra injection, and so we arrive at the ballad 'Better Than Weed', something they understand better than anyone at our blues festivals.

 

We also get 'Reverse Blues' and on 'If Heartaches...were Nickels', the vocal qualities of Miss Riffault fully blossom. She gets a spotlight during the rendition of Joe Cocker's 'Feelin' All Right' from the summer of '69.

 

A more than successful performance by this 'Wind Cries The Blues' here in distant Limburg.
