Hi All,

Well I finaly got my mailshot program working so here's the first
newletter about the Portsmouth Blues Scene and Website.

Recent additions to the website include:

    Photographs of The Rhythm Kings at the R.M.A.
    A few (unfinished) words about the history of the Rhythm Kings

    Photographs of Burnt Ice playing at the music in the square
    festival.

    A Guest book for visitors to leave comments etc.

    A News Page with info on wants new, both on the site and whats
    happening in general.

Some news about the blues scene:

    The R.M.A. Tavern has finaly closed it's doors to blues. A change
    of landlord in March had left the situation in some confusion but
    unfortunatly Steve has decided to give up the music. A least we
    know whats going on now and can move on....

    More positively The Bullfrog Blues Club has moved home. It now
    meets most thursdays at The Albert Bar on South Parade Pier. The
    first gig at the new veneu will be ** Burnt Ice ** on thurday 26th
    july. ( please note this was originaly advertised as being at the
    Frog On The Front). From August onwards John Roberts has arranged
    a a season of local national and internation acts. Includeing
    Mo'Indigo, Kent Duchaine ,Earl Gaines and Al Garner, and _Canned
    Heat_ ! See the Bullfrog page on the web-site for more details.

Some off topic news:

    John Roberts ( in his Barking Spider guise ) is organising a
    folk festival on South Parade Pier on the weekend of 31st Aug, 1st
    & 2nd Sept. Star guests include Norma Waterson & Martin Carthy.
    There will be free music morris dancing and general folkyness
    during then day with ticketed gigs in the evenings (8 ish till
    late).

Something I forgot to mention:

    Country Joe ( of Woodstock fame ) will be playing at the Bandstand
    on Southsea Seafront (near Castle fields) with Reet Petite& Gone.
    They played an excellent gig together at the pier on Wendesday and
    his will be the last gig of their UK tour. Also playing are Mike &
    Mishkin, urban hillbillies  from New Orleans, they play a mixture
    of comic hillbily and more serious folk music and are worth seeing
    in their own right.


Cheers Andy Broad.
