Big Sandy at the 100 Club

This month has been full of birthdays and weddings, but August has also been the month which featured the best gig of the year - Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys at the legendary 100 Club!


I have seen these guys play many times in many different cities, but this has been my favourite time seeing them, so far!

Big Joe Louis opened the night with his hip-gyrating blues....


The atmosphere was buzzing and the club was packed, as the night that us Londoners had been anticipating for months was finally here...


That Big Sandy is quite the charmer, with his honey-smooth voice, and cheeky banter.  The band were on point, and the crowd lapped up every musical note that filled the club...


We sang along, we cheered, and some people even got up on stage and had a boogie...


Quite fitting that such legendary musicians should play an iconic London venue.  The perfect choice for interacting with the crowd, with a low stage and an intimate atmosphere.  It was a real party!


To top off a perfect evening, loverboy spotted Heather Holliday and Danik Abishev who are both currently performing in LIMBO.  After going to see the show at the London Wonderground back in July, I was mesmerised by the talent of these two artists, so it was an absolute pleasure to meet them and to chat with them for a while - they are both so fun and easy to talk to!


The show is still touring, but its run in the UK has now ended, so if you haven't seen it, let me just tell you that Heather is a sword-swallower, and Danik is a hand balancer, and they are both enthralling to watch!


This was definitely a night to remember!


Now hurry back soon guys, y'hear?!
