Bluesfest: Bettye Lavette

So day turned into night - blessed, blessed night, where the temperature creeps below 30 degrees Celsius! - at Bluesfest, and the show I had stuck around for in the face of brain-frying heat commenced. That would be Bettye Lavette doing her thing on the Black Sheep Stage. It was a lousy night for photography but a good night for soul.

Also a good night for giving an annoying heckler the gears. Go Bettye go!

I did take some colour photos ... they all stunk, so it's back to black and white.

There's no rest for Bettye - she's playing a couple of gigs in New York City this weekend.
