The beginning of a real night of fifties Rock’n'Roll with many singers sitting in throughout the evening including Cliff Edmunds (the Avengers), a perfect rendering of ‘Move It’ and ‘Brand New Cadillac’; Pete Stockton ‘Girl Of My Best Friend’; Dave Sampson (the Hunters) sang ‘Love Me’; Danny Rivers, ‘Can’t You Hear My Heart’ plus Ray Lee (Dream Lover) and of course Rockin' Gerry Champion of the 2i’s coffee bar, rocked ‘I Go Ape’. Everybody was here not only to celebrate Keith’s birthday but also to thank him for all his great efforts in keeping the faith and attracting musicians from that magic time, way back when I was really young and played or jived the night away in Soho town. We even had a Skiffle group and Allan Bailey, (Soho Leg-ends) sang ‘Rock Island Line’. A friend shouted in my ear that “No tea chest bass sounded as good as the ones made for PG Tips!” In fact Ken Major had brought his original one from back in 1956. -

XXIV Porretta Soul Festival 21-24 Luglio 2011 Torna La Grande
XXIV Porretta Soul Festival 21-24 luglio 2011 Torna la grande musica soul Swamp Dogg, Spencer Wiggins, William Bell, Percy Wiggins, Sugar Pie DeSanto, Harvey Scales, Toni Green, Austin de Lone All Stars, Chick Rodgers, Tribute To King Curtis with Sax Gordon & Groove City, The Memphis All Star Rhythm & Blues Band e tanti altri. La ventiquattresima edizione del Porretta Soul Festival si terrà al Rufus Thomas Park di Porretta Terme (Bologna) dal 21 al 24 Luglio con l’esclusiva europea di grandi personaggi della black music. Da oltre 20 anni Porretta Terme, importante località turistica dell’Appennino, al confine tra le provincie di Bologna e Pistoia, attraversata dalla storica linea ferroviaria Porrettana , ha consolidato la sua fama di “Soulsville Europe” grazie ad un festival che nel tempo è diventato la vetrina europea della musica soul. E se non bastasse, nella toponomastica della cittadina figura oggi una Via Otis Redding e il già ricordato Rufus Thomas Park. Dopo aver ospitato negli anni icone come Solomon Burke, Percy Sledge, Booker T. & The MGs, Wilson Pickett, Rufus & Carla Thomas, Isaac Hayes, LaVern Baker arrivano quest’anno una leggende vivente come Swamp Dogg e altri grandi artisti del grande Soul, tra cui Harvey Scales, alla sua prima volta in Europa. Swamp Dogg, irriverente, spregiudicato, aggressivo, oltraggioso, genio soul accostabile a Sly Stone o George Clinton, a Frank Zappa o Dike & The Blazers, figura carismatica e riferimento anche per molti artisti rock, si definisce il fallimento di più grande successo degli Stati Uniti. “Sono un piccione che non ha mai trovato il suo buco….ho preso tante di quelle direzioni che non ho mai trovato quella giusta!” dice di Swamp Dogg se stesso. -

Porretta Supplement

Tributes were paid to three artists who had died since last year’s edition: Solomon Burke, a champion of the festival whose most recent appearance had been two years ago, and Clay Hammond and Al Green (of the Green Brothers), who had both performed last year. Of course, each of these three singers could be said to have had a good innings; however, during the festival, reports came through of the tragedy unfolding in Norway and the loss of many young lives, and also the, perhaps not unexpected, early death of Amy Winehouse. Adding to the sense of loss was a moving speech by the widow of Ernesto De Pascale, a journalist who had made a valued contribution to the growth of the festival. Porretta 2011 will also be remembered for the weather. Whilst the pessimist amongst us had predicted rain on the basis of the forecast of a 50% chance of precipitation each day, he turned out to be no more than half right. We did eventually wake up to rain on the third morning, but fortunately none of the performances were affected, although the lower than usual temperatures during the day meant for some cold evenings to the extent that several layers of clothing were required, and even a woolly hat was called for on the last night. -

FOR REPRODUCTION, PLEASE CONTACT ALAN LLOYD VIA TFTW.ORG.UK Danny Rivers, 100 Club 2007 © Paul Harris We mourn the passing of a great friend of TFTW, the unforgettable and irreplaceable Danny Rivers Keith chats to Gene Terry Paul Harris takes lots of pictures Neil Foster attempts to take over TFTW We “borrow” more stuff from Nick Cobban Soul Kitchen, Jazz Junction, Blues Rambling And more.... 1 2 Tim Peake had to return to Earth as he had already promised Keith that he would say: “ I think the mag is out of this world so HOLD THE THIRD PAGE! ” Hi gang, Welcome to issue 92. Rather a lot has been happening in Woodie world since we last had our cosy little chats, some wonderful, some very sad. However we kick off on an upbeat note. I won’t go into detail here regarding our June 5th show at London’s Borderline, you will find a review elsewhere within these pages, along with an interview I conducted with the main man, Gene Terry, a true Swamp Rock legend from those Texas, Louisiana borders, whom TFTW flew over for his first ever appearance outside the United States. What a show it proved to be, certainly a Wow factor beginning at show-time and continuing through to when we had to say "Goodnight". Tired? Yes. Elated? You bet. It was like riding on a cushion of air. As always I have to offer a massive thank you to all the artists, musicians, DJ, MC, and the front line Woodies who all helped to make it go seemingly without a hitch for fans who travelled from all corners of the UK along with parts of the European mainland, on this occasion even from far afield as Lithuania.
