I discovered a video by Lyndon Anderson on YouTube and it is so outstanding that I just had to include it in the blog. This is a fabulous performance! See it by clicking here.

We've had a bit of a break while Mick studiied thunderstorms near the Pyrenees. And, this was the first time out under the new name. The break seems to have done everybody good and has certainly reinvigorated the band. A good night with a lively crowd. Thanks go to Bill and Mick for translating the drunken Northumbrian ramblings of the lass that wanted to sing. Mike and me couldn't understand a word!

It had to happen! The band started out as a purely blues outfit. Over the past year, and particularly since November last year, the band has moved away from a purely blues rock format and further into rock and soul. In fact, the set is predominantly rock and soul these days and is a good eclectic mix with some great renditions of songs from the rock mainstream. For people who've seen us, the name Bluessential is definitely not a problem, However, for some venues and punters, the name Bluessential was simnply putting them off. So now we're the Road Dogs reflecting our dedication to gigging.
