We're delighted to be able to give these guys something back as they've been very good to us in their short existence, so why not come down to Aunt Annies on the Dublin Road in Belfast next Thursday and see us along with Mojo Fury and Team Fresh. Its not often you see a line up like that in Belfast, also we'll be playing 2 brand new songs, never before heard outside our rehearsal space, be the first. You could say I was there when The Bonnevilles played those 2 awful songs.... haha, hope not.

GASOLINE RECORDS COMPILATIONS
A while ago a nice man from Gasoline Records in El Segundo, California got in touch with us about contributing a couple of tracks to some killer compilations he was putting together. Thrilled to bits, we agreed and just a week or so ago we received a lovely box of CDs from the USA with copies of the comps.

Entitled "The Sounds of Gasoline" each volume contains some killer stuff. Rock n Roll, Blues, even alt country and of course yours truly. If you fancy something that you'll be hard pressed to find in HMV I reckon you should try these. They're full of rock solid musical bombs and with 21 tracks for £9.99 plus £1 postage worldwide its got to be worth a punt.

Go to our website and check them out http://www.thebonnevilles.net/

BANDWIDTH FILMS
The very, very talented folks at Bandwidth have asked to film us for their In-Stores series, where they film bands in unusual places and stripped way down, in our case its looking like in a butchers shop in Belfast. This looks like its going to be happening on Thursday the 28th of Jan, next Thursday before our gig in Aunt Annies. If you want to come down and have a nosey and maybe even get your facog on celluloid, we'll give you location as soon as we know it, it would be great to see a few faces. we're going to be playing another brand new song called "Hell".

Finally we got ourselves a new Tee shirt, available on pre-order, we're only picking these up in Scotland on the 11th of Feb so if you want to buy one we'll post it immediately when we return home.

They've got the very very cool design by Ben Lyons featuring the The Bonnevilles mascot Blackbeards Jolly Roger. It will make you look cooler than you do already. They are heavyweight Fruit of the Loom tees and available in any colour you want as long as its black, £11 & £1 postage. Check them out on our website. http://www.thebonnevilles.net

Thats all she wrote friends, hopefully we'll see you at a gig soon. Take care of yourselves and each other, this cruel cruel world is better because your in it.

Andy & Chris
The Bonnevilles

The following came in from Mark Easton in Australia this morning.

hi blues dogs

fistly, i appreciate the support you guys give my music!

secondly, if youve ever seen my shows im always happy to get people up for a blow, ive had people like TJ play guitar (he'll be playing with me this sunday at tilba), lilly white play harmonica, ugly graham play harmonica, phil rado play bongos, blue dogs play harmonica, rory cotter play djembe, james southwell play guitar, canadian cath ford do vocals, hugo from the sydney blues society play harmonica etc etc, so if you know what your doing just come and have a bit of fun! i travel around oz on my own and it gets pretty lonely sometimes, i always love jamming with people so dont be a stranger!

ok down to business

im on tour promoting my new DVD live at the sydney blues festival, recorded at the fitzroy hotel october 2009. 11 foot stomping songs with 2 previously unreleased tracks, Hoochie Coochie Man and Black Betty. The DVD is available on the Plastic Donut label and distributed by Only Blues Music.

heres a promo clip of the dvd on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5DpFyad9d8

You can also here tracks from the DVD on Marks MySpace, see link at top of piece.

in the last year Marks latest CD Money is the Root of all Evil reached number 4 on the blues charts in the USA, number 1 on the blues charts in Australia and nominated in 2 categories at the Australian Blues Music Awards - Best New Talent and Best Album "Bandwagon" and also nominated in 3 categories at the Blues Star Awards - Best Australasian Blues Band, Best New Talent and Best Album "Bandwagon".

ive had a bugger of a start to the year firstly i tried to kick my drum off stage on NYE and it just wouldnt fall off, so i stood up and gave it an almighty boot and missed the skin and copped my toe on the rim! it frickin killed, black and blue, had to go to hospital and get the nail drilled!
on sudnay i kicked it off stage and it rolled along the floor and went down a stairwell and busted my kick pedal

today i went for a surf at newcastle and got hammered by a huge wave, which drove me down so hard my board slipped out of my hands and forced the board up with the fin just grazing my forhead, any closer and i could have lost an eye!

hopefully i will live long enough to finish the tour!

Innovative Australian guitarist Jeff Lang, respected and admired by the likes of Richard Thompson, and John Butler, on UK tour to promote acclaimed 16th album ‘Half Seas Over’. The album was originally released in Australia in 2008. No doubt tracks from his 2009 album release 'Chimeradour' will also feature.

A virtuoso guitarist with an achingly sweet voice and hypnotic performance style, Jeff Lang has carved out a unique niche for his compelling and continually evolving music transcending the boundaries of traditional folk, blues, country and other roots music.

Over the past decade, Lang has built an international reputation and a loyal fan base with constant touring in the US, Europe and Australia. He is a favourite on the festival circuit and has enjoyed national airplay, rave reviews, multiple ARIA nominations and the respect of his peers around the world. He has toured with Bob Dylan, Ani Di Franco, Dr John, Loudon Wainwright III and countless others.

No U.S. blues band has made a sustained tour of London in-- well, no one seems to be able to remember. But Kilborn Alley Blues Band are doing it, starting next week--Tuesday 17 November, kicking off at Effra Hall in Brixton. The idea is to infest the place, to soak in all that guitar blues that comes from Britain. We are real proud of the pubs we have been able to put together for this tour.

The venues include Effra Hall which is an amazing jazz and reggae venue in the little West Indies that is Brixton, Moors Bar is a gem in Crouch End with one of the coolest owners in all of tavern-dom the world over, The Globe has an incredible blues jam scene in Hackney lead by John Parry and his band, The Oval features Graeme's dj work plus great blues bands, Weavers Arms is a veritable monument in rock history, North Pole is making a statement as an r&b venue, -- each place is special in its way, and we are looking for big turnouts on what is supposed to be a resurgent London blues scene. We hear the new Charlotte Street Blues may be the finest facility dedicated to blues on planet earth.

The Kilborn Alley Blues Band does gritty Chicago blues and southern fried soul for all the generations of blues lovers. This music speaks for itself; better still, it convinces you to listen.

And after just winning the Sean Costello Rising Star In The Blues Award at the Blues Blast Magazine's annual music awards, they will be a band not to be missed.

So if your a fan of the blues and want to hear a great Chicago band get along to one of these gigs.

The band are

Andrew Duncanson - guitar, lead vocals
Joe Asselin - harp, guitar, backing vocals
Josh Stimmel - guitar
Chris Breen - electric bass
Ed O'Hara - drums

T-Model Ford kicked off his UK tour at The Luminaire last Friday (11/09) and also took the BBC by storm with a series of anarchic live sessions and interviews. After T-Model was interviewed by Tom Robinson on his Six Music show one listener emailed in to say it was the “maddest interview in radio history, sheer genius”! 

T-Model then went toe to toe with Danny Dyer and Stuart Copeland on Radio 4’s Loose End’s show with Clive Anderson and came out on top.

The Estonian blues trio Bullfrog Brown will start their third visit to the UK this year with an early set at the Sydenham Blues Club on Friday, September 18, launching a 5-gig tour with British harpist Steve Lury. In addition to gigs in London, Kingston and Leicester, the band will be recording a live session for Dave Raven's Raven'N'The Blues radio broadcast.

The album "Bullfrog Brown with Steve Lury" was released in February 2009 to positive reviews and the quartet line-up has already supported it with live appearances in Estonia, Finland, and Poland. In the UK, Bullfrog Brown CD's are available through Rootscd.com.

There new album "Moon and Central" is expected to be released in the near future and has been on sale at recent gigs in Europe.

"Beautifully delivered - both musically and vocally." - Grahame Rhodes, bluesinthenorthwest.com

"Thoroughly enjoyable." - John Vermilyea, Blues Underground Network

The Billy Walton Band head out on a UK tour during October  in support of the release of their new album "Neon City" with a couple of support slots with Walter Trout thrown in as well. The sound of the band is a combination of hard blues reminiscent of Hendrix, Clapton and SRV mixed with healthy dose of Warren Haynes and Derrick Trucks.

Since the age of 15, Walton has plied his craft in the Asbury Park/New Jersey shore music scene, most notably as the guitarist/vocalist for Boccigalupe & the Bad Boys.  During his time with Boccigalupe, Walton has played countless gigs in both the United States and Europe and sat in with numerous of rock luminaries including Springsteen, Gary US Bonds and Stevie Ray’s backing band, Double Trouble.
