I'm not a big blues nut, I have the Robert Johnson box set and I love it when Eric Clapton plays blues but it's not a genre I usually follow. I went along to the
Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society's "Blues Performer of the Year" gig mainly because I wanted to get some decent photos of
Andrea Marr (a friend of a friend). I ended up taking a whole bundle of photos (as I do) and found the acts somewhere between interesting and great. At our table, we predicted that
Ash Grunwald would win (as he did) but my favourite act for the evening was "Chubby Rae and the Elevators" who had a big fat sound with the sort of searing guitar I love.
