Radiotones: Live at Jedburgh Blues Festival

THE Radiotones started to raise a storm upstairs at The Pheasant. By now the crowd had moved from gig to gig and, if you were a stranger when you arrived, there was something wrong if you were still.

The rocking blues of Radiotones, from the driving sound of the electrifying National and gravel voice of Dave Arcari, the superb harp (definately Walter-ised) of Jim Harcus and rhythym section of Adrian paterson (bass) and Don Mackinnon (drums) soon had the dance floor packed.

An ideal end to a Friday of superb music and entertainment. Even I, at my advanced age, managed to strut a little bit of my stuff.
