Even More from Orkney

They said this about us in the Orcadian:

Alaskan Bluesman Son Henry, appearing for the first time, proved a huge sucess. Recently relocated to Aberdeen, he is described as an excellent musician and performer providing a mixture of original material and covers with his voice and guitar to the fore, backed by a tight rhythm section.

This proved to be the case with strong vocals expressing deeply-felt lyrics. These, plus some excellent moves on the guitar, provided a hugely fun session, with the audience bopping away.

They also improvised, using an ashtray and a bottle of beer to play some of the tunes!

One fan said "They are excellent, a refreshing sound"

"They are very sharp and there is some really good guitar playing"

Robert MacNamara, another festival veteran, saod "This is the best band I've heard in three years of the festival"

Another man has been converted, Justin Kimmett of Stromness said: "I wasn;t a true blues fan until this weekend"
