Pretty damn fine music............I'd think if I were there I'd stand in awe for ages. Good you-tube clip Mr Toad.
Was impressed by the upload from Mr R as well, amazing concept.
Manage to catch some 'unknown over here' artists at small UK venues, in a way its a bit of a lottery as to how much you like what they do (even more so before the interweb thang), but if you're lucky, you leave at the end of an evening being blown away by what one person can do with a guitar.
These musicians might appeal:
Louisiana Red

Kent Duchaine http://www.kentduchaine.com/
And there's some astounding new blood too, in particular a young lady called Joanne Shaw Taylor from our very own shores too.
Baffles me how so much soul can come from someone so young, great vocals and amazing guitar playing.

http://www.bccommunion.com/ in London on their first tour at the end of December, and they have the extremely talented Joe Bonnamassa http://www.jbonamassa.com/index.html in their ranks).
Been into his stuff from (I think) 1996 when he was in a band called Bloodline after watching a TV doc about him, which is now viewable on you-tube.

The reason I decided to put the clip on here is becasue of the inclusion of the Hot Rod (which I've seen in the flesh at Goodwood a few times). Make your own mind up...
