Hello friends,
I hope you are having a fantastic spring and all things are going just great for you?
To kick the Proceedings off I wanted to indulge in a bit of self promotion, for no other reason other than I think you will enjoy what has been going on!
Firstly, I created a site last your that I have since re worked and re launched as follows:
groups.myspace.com/britpackbluesclub
Despite the name, this is not solely about "The Blues" although its a big part of who I am and what like minded people enjoy!
It is a place to share "Music" as a whole. If you have a particular Youtube or Myspace TV Clip, CD, Band or Gig you want to tell people about that's the place! It on public Join, all you need to do is click, go, join & join in!
I am featuring bands from all over the world, which we who are on myspace are so very lucky to be able to enjoy at the click of a mouse. Don't forget, like you I am a huge music fan and I get so much enjoyment from listening to Bands in Germany, France, The States, Norway just doing their thing. And we have had Posts of Clips from Robert Johnson, to Amy Winehouse, Muddy Waters to Jeff Beck. Otis Redding to Arthur Conley so as you see, the spectrum is broad! I am also trying to provide the visitors with great links for their enjoyment!
It will only be as interesting as the involvement of the members itself, and it has been. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the posts, debates and memories that are being shared currently, and being privy to some truly great artists. I hope to see you there too!
Over the last several News Letters, I have had a considerable amount of requests asking what I am up to! Well, for me, paint drying holds more interest, but here is a quick up date on what I am doing!
In addition to re building the club site, I have also totally overhauled my site, making the graphics you see on a very Blues/Retro theme. I will (thankfully) begin recording after many false starts and have a bag full of original self penned tunes to lay down over the coming weeks. I cant wait to begin, my fingers are itching. So I've been busy Building, Writing and getting involved on many projects, which has been really enjoyable too!

For the Musicians among you, this may be of interest! "Avant Electronics"
I've met the fella via my site who is a studio sound man & engineer, and a really nice chap. Its a costly business studio equiptment and the products and prices look very favourable. Obviously I can only compair to prices I see here, but the site is sure worth a view, and if an intro to the fella is saught, just let me know!
www.earlyblues.com/
If like me you have a fascination for historical music information coupled with great links for the scene today, none come better that Earlyblues.com.
A British based Blues Bureau that covers home bound and international links to some wonderful Blues sites. It really is worth paying a visit.
News in Brief!
I advised in the last addition about the sad loss of friend, musician and broadcaster, Les Lewellyn!
It was just wonderful to see the show back on the air again being more than ably steered by Mark Kerr. Mark has placed his own stamp on the show but has maintained the very high standards that Les Built.
The new home of " Les Lewellyns Road Rash Blues Show" can be found here:
www.markkerrltd.com/roadrash.htm
And also on myspace, so please join Mark as a friend right here:
www.myspace.com/leslewellynsroadrashbluesshow
As always this and Marks "Blues Nation" show can be heard 1st on KCOR

Well that's it from me, hope you get something out of the info provided and till next time stay safe, god bless and the best possible wishes from me!
