Blues Festival, Belgium

Saturday, July 20th

 

The show was very entertaining, Tommy Conwell and the Little Kings played between all the other blues-acts !!  First of all Tommy Conwell had no hair anymore, so he looks like Bruce Willis on stage.

 

The Little Kings began the set with an instrumental and after Tommy did his best to talk Dutch to the crowd!!!  SANTE!  SKOL!  and so on ... much different things.

The songs came out of his two last albums with the Little Kings, hard, loud, it reminds me a little bit of George Thorogood.  He also played songs of his albums with the Rumblers ... reminding me of the 80's:  "I'm Not Your Man", "Guitar Trouble" .

( Tommy jokingly tells the crowd that he has a lot of copies left in his basement.  He also tells everyone to buy his CD's because he needs the money). 

The show was nice, sometimes wild, sometimes blues, rock 'n roll, slow, pop, ...

 

I was a little bit disappointed that I couldn't reach Tommy for an autograph ...After his show it began to rain very, very hard!!

 

Special thanks to Luk Dufait

Hello USA,

 

"I met Tommy Conwell last weekend at the Belgium Rhythm 'n' Blues festival in Peer. We talked a lot about life, music ... He's a really nice guy.  His show was great. The people loved him. I'll hope to see him back in Belgium in the near future.  I just danced with my daughter on "Without Love" from the Hi Ho Silver album.  My wife and I are going on holidays in a few hours and it was a farewell dance. 
It felt great!!!!

Thanks to Tommy for the fine time.  A new fan is born !!!!!!!!
