EB: I'm very good friends with Beaux Gris Gris. Yeah, they're brilliant. They just made a music
video for me.
BiTS: I was reading about them recently. They seem to maintain two bands, one for the UK and
one for the USA.
EB: Yeah, because they live in the USA, so they've got their UK bands and their US bands. But
yeah, they're brilliant, amazing artists. I'm playing their new song on my radio show this week.
BiTS: [Laughs] Of course you are. Listen, I won't take too much more of your time because I
know that you're very busy and all the rest of it. Thank you very much indeed for talking to
me. Congratulations on the fabulous album with the “Fire Station” one, and I'm looking forward
to hearing the new one as well.
EB: Thank you so much. Looking forward to it and thank you for the support.
BiTS: You look after yourself. Have a good day.
EB: You too, take care.
BiTS: Bye then, bye.
EB: Bye. Bye-bye.
HELP WANTED
For a number of years now, Andrew Cadwell has been valiantly
supporting BiTS by being the GIG GUIDE COORDINATOR.
This is an honorary post, which is a polite way of saying, “There’s no
money in it”!
The job involves managing the GIG CALENDAR on the BiTS website
(www.bluesinthesouth.com), receiving emails from artists, searching if
possible for gigs in the BITS area, which is roughly defined as the area of
England south of the M4 (with a line extended in to the North Sea) and
doing whatever you consider necessary to keep the site one of the best gig
guides you will find. The direct link to the site is
https://www.brownbearsw.com/freecal/BITS)
Andrew has decided to retire and we are looking for a replacement for him
in this key job. There are hundreds of hits on the site every week and it
is considered a key resource by both musicians and venues. Are you
interested? Support will be given by Andrew and by Ian McKenzie as
required..
To find out more please contact Ian McKenzie at
editor@bluesinthesouth.com
By-the-way, there ARE non-monetary ways in which we can re-imburse
you, which as you are a blues person, you might find useful.
