Bluesfest: Jimmy Bowskill Band

Watching Jimmy Bowskill, one could be forgiven for thinking that there'd been a wrong turn back to 1972. Or perhaps that should be right turn, since J.B. and his rhythm section of Ian Wilson and Dan Rieff really kick out the hard-rock blues a la Cream and Nazareth with great skill. Here we are, Peterborough's pride and joy ...

Never mind the 1970s, that amp must date back to the middle of the century.
