Spider is playing with Greg Izor and friends at a private house concert,

It’s going to be something of a blues harmonica showdown! A special event that you don’t want to miss. We are very fortunate to have my pal Greg Izor from Austin Texas, USA visit us. I have taken this opportunity to put together a show featuring Greg and Al Brown. Greg is a top of the tree blues musician with a great style and swagger. Al is certainly one of the finest blues guitarist in UK today. Greg and Al will be backed by the wonderful local rhythm section of Davy Cattanach and Mike Rae.

It’s going to be a night to remember with a number of surprise guests sitting in. Starting the evening I have invited Liz Jones who is a fantastic singer songwriter from Edinburgh. She is bringing along Scottish blues guitar legend John Bruce (x Blues n Trouble) to accompany her. John and Liz are part of the Edinburgh group Broken Windows.

Oh did I say I will be playing also? Well sure, I am. I wasn’t going to miss this chance to play with some of my favourite musicians in the world. Come on down to The Blue Lamp, Friday 29th June at 8.00pm to join in the fun!”

Scottish Guitar Virtuoso Andy Gunn brings his all new line up featuring the cream of Scottish Blues musicians on tour. His musicians include harmonica virtuoso Spider MacKenzie. The concert is in support of Andy’s brand new acclaimed album ‘Too Many Guitars To Give Up Now’ which features Spider’s harmonica playing on 10 of the 12 tracks. Spider said “Andy is one of the most soulful musicians in UK. We have known each other since a time when I had a full head of hair and that’s not yesterday. Over the years we had never recorded together. In mid 2017 Andy got in touch with the idea of recording what could be considered an album of original blues music which Andy had written. Perhaps a better description would be a ‘gumbo of soul, jazz, rock, shake your tail feather blues and boogie music’. I jumped at the chance to make music with someone I have been a fan of for years.” The concert will feature many of the songs from the album. Please don’t miss this chance to dance away your March blues.
